It seems that the Panthers are likely to be picking at #6, with the slight possibility that there is potential fluctuation that could have them ranging from about 5 to 8--but #6 seems rather probable.  More likely if we lose, very possible if we win.

The draft trade value chart has the #6 pick at 1600 points.  Some say take the BPA, others say trade down and add a second rounder.

For your information, the #13 pick (1150) should also have the #45 pick (450). 

What would you do?

Ask for more.

Potentially missing out on a franchise OL/QB just to get a mid-2nd round pick when the Eagles got a future first? Nah, if they're willing to trade up then they're willing to pay to play.

He didnt last year

He has stated that he would do it--and he entertained a trade offer last year.  Not sure that the fact that he didn't get a good offer justifies a statement that infers he will not trade back in the first round---I think he does move back this year and would probably bet on it.

that depends on 2 things, if a team is wanting to move up and if said team gives fair value.  Last year was a better qb draft and we had 2 with our pick and the bears still didnt offer enough.

 

Now if we trade back for lesser value just to recoup the pick from the darnold trade I very well may seriously be done with this franchise.  I mean that level of incompetence should turn any knowledgeable fan away

So many if's and buts to go along with this thread.  Every draft has its own identity.

 

Who will be the head coach?  OC? DC?

What system will we run? on both sides of the ball?  How will current players be in either system?

What are considered to be the strong positions for this years draft?  Certainly not the QB's

Getting more picks is a numbers game.  Pats did it for years with some success and some regret.

We did it last year and it remains to be seen how it worked for us.

Chinn is probably the best draft pick we have made over the last couple of seasons.

What are the strong areas of FA?

 

For me:

Trade back to at least 13, if not 20.  Pick up other slots because we have little to work with in a weak draft, more opportunities for a win are imperative.  OT Neal as it stands now, will already be gone.

Let's say there are 2 quarterbacks that stand out after the combine - Pickett and Corral.

Maybe Houston takes a QB at 3, so now there is only 1 QB left with a first round grade.  WFT (9), Falcons (10), Broncos (11), Saints (15), Steelers (17) may all be interested.  We could find ourselves in a bidding war if 2 of these teams fall in love with drafting a QB.

If I could, I'd trade the 6th to WFT for the 9th and 40th.  At 9 I'd go with Ikem or the Iowa Center.  Then at 40, if we go Center at 9, there are about 4 OTs valued in the 35-45 range.  

This will give us a decent OL and Darnold will not be constantly running for his life.

Davis has been a nice surprise in Houston, so they might keep him AND trade Watson.  That is 2 teams not needing a QB all of a sudden.  But further, I don't think Corral will go in the top half, Pickett, yes.  From 9, I might drop again, to mid teens, picking up another 2nd.

But your logic is good if we only drop back 3 spots

If no QBs go (or) a team loves Pickett or Corral, I can see a trade back. Nothing grand but I’m looking at Washington or Minny at 11 & 12.

Or a much less splash trade could simply be Denver leapfrogging ATL to land one at our pick. They have (2) seconds and (2) thirds.

Lets get their Rams 2nd with a 6 to 9 swap. Draft NCSU or Iowa OLs and land maybe Ridder or Strong next

It is possible we just don't have a suitor for a trade back. The obvious choices are the teams with two first rounders, as they will be the easiest to pry away. Then you have the fact that this is a weak QB draft, which usually drives up trade prices and possibilities. 

We will see what happens. If we couldn't move our pick in last years draft with two QB's on the board, I can't see us being able to this year. Either we are asking too much or the suitors are more patient.

Yup. It’s also why I won’t put too much into thinking we can simply trade back. 

I’m bracing for a potential QB pick but maybe we go OL and stay at 6.

      Pytor kochetkov assigned to Chicago for conditioning stint. Wonder if he gets playing time in the playoffs if Bussi or Freddy flounders

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By flagfootballcoach28 · Posted

      What specific LT at 19 are all of the OT Stan’s wanting? Be specific. All have issues and are not guaranteed to improve the OL.. The chances of one of these LT’s who are projected at 19 (Proctor, Lomu) being a bust is much higher than a guy like Lemon/Concepcion imo. Do you really want to draft a kid who has weight struggles along with lateral movement issues? And the other who was a shitty run blocker vs Big 12 competition? Morgan and Co. want to see how Rasheed Walker plays.. They also want to see how Icky’s rehab goes.. There’s a lot of  “wait and see at OT”  We don’t have the luxury for our 1st round pick being a backup. We lack top end talent. Morgan and the others have made it known they want to win now. For that reason, I’m almost positive we punt on OT in the first this year and worry about it next year in the first round if need be.    Thieneman would be ideal. He’s a natural “center field” safety with great coverage skills. For the posters who want trade up for Downs…Do you realize he struggles in coverage? He’s more of a box safety. We already have two of those players.. I wouldn’t mind trading in front of the Vikings for the Thieneman though.. Next need would be DT, but I don’t see the value there at 19.. Same with edge. WR at #19 is very realistic. Who would improve this team more than Lemon/Concepcion? You could argue a slot CB, but the value isn’t great there either. People tend to forget the Seattle Seahawks game.. Yes BY sucked, but no one was getting open.. We could use a quick savvy route runner to beat man coverage. TMAC and Coker are great, but consistently creating separation vs Man Coverage is not their strength.
