If someone wants to trade up to 6 for a QB, we should probably just take the QB.


I wouldn’t want to put a rookie behind this line as it stands now.

Let Sam earn the $18 million, build the line as much as possible, and take a QB with the high draft pick next year.

Not sure there's anyone worth trading into 6th for this year. Ask yourself if you'd do it as a GM. Would you swap picks and give up a 2nd for the Miss St OT or aone of the QBs? I wouldn't.

I was thinking the same thing. What player in this draft is worth moving up for and giving away 2nd (and possibly a 3rd) round draft choice?

As a GM, I wouldn't do it unless a player in the Top 10 was the missing piece to putting my team into playoff/title contention. Even then, I'd have to have an extra pick in the round two or three to seriously consider it.

I'm also not sold on the idea that we can simply fix our o-line thru free agency. We picked two FA's last year and we know how that turned out. I already doubt the staff's ability to properly evaluate lineman. Also, after last year's fiasco I don't see quality FA's making a bee-line to Carolina to play under Matt Rhule.

Take a stud lineman at 6. If you trade back, I wouldn't go below 12

It'd have to be someone with the capital that really wants Charles Cross/Ike or something. Maybe Denver wants to jump the Falcons to get a QB, depends on if they can land a guy in FA or not

It's this year or next for sure. But if I'm being honest I simply do not trust the Panthers to not screw up their draft position. We had the chance for a top 3 pick in 2019 2020 and 2021 and we won extra games that didn't even matter. That mythical first rounder in 2023 that folks keep making plans with already is definitely not guaranteed and we all know it.

I don't see us getting more than a 3rd and a 6th and exchanging 1sts if we don't drop below 12. We're just in a bad spot this year. We're desperate, we've wasted our 2nd, 3rd and 4th, not considered a great QB class, and have the Giants before and behind us. If there is a trade it will be on draft day after the 5th pick.  I just don't think we're going to get the value we would typically see for the 6th pick.

      Yeah I think he's just talking continuity it's not really an endorsement. Also I would think CarolinaHuddle of all places would understand using "we" for the team you follow. I can't STAND when dorks do the "Oh so you play for them then? Hurr hurr"

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).
