Trade Down for Ridder?

Ridder is interesting.. I only watched him against Alabama and while he really struggled it’s hard to judge him off that game since it was men against boys in the trenches.

By all accounts he was one of if not the most consistent QB at the senior bowl…

Depending on if we land a LT in free agency, I wouldn’t be opposed to trading down and taking whoever is available out of Hamilton, Jermaine Johnson, or Zion Johnson and taking a flyer on Ridder or even Howell in the second.

I think it‘s a possibility, although I question the wisdom of trading down and risking losing him if you truly believe a QB can be a franchise player. And if you don’t, then you have no business drafting him in the first round anyways.

I guess my mindset is Willis and Pickett are just as much of a gamble than Ridder. So why not try to pickup extra draft assets and hedge some of your risk.

there is some logic in that.  Throw Howell in that also.  Between those 4 you would think at least one will be there at 15-20, and history tells us its a gamble anyway.

but what often happens is the teams will evaluate all of them and at some point one or two will become a lot more desirable to them so the teams will be scared to trade down.

I'm not sure we're drafting a QB in the first. We're picking up some decent playing pieces here and Rhule is on the hot seat for performance, not potential.

There are some interesting, but not great, QBs still out there in FA. I think we'll snag one of them before the draft and then look for a stud OT or DE in the first.

I'd been big on Linderbaum in the first, but it doesn't seem he's needed here anymore. This has been playing out quite interestingly and the loss in the Watson sweepstakes will play in our favor handily.

That actually might be a pretty spot on comparison.

I think they're very similar. Both check a lot of boxes physically. Both played their final season for very good but largely defensively driven teams. Then you watch them play and... you're just underwhelmed. The whole is less than the sum of the parts. You were just expecting considerably more.

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.

      I'm more of a Hornets fan than I am a Panthers fan, I've watched a ton of this franchise the last 20 years. I post all day on RealGM. Don't get your hopes up, this is setting us up for a 20 point loss to the Heat and a swift end to the season. Spoelstra has always solved us, the Heat have two bigs that we have no answers for, and Jaquez is a certified Hornets killer that always plays us like he has a grudge on us. The Hornets being a top 10 team all year and a top 5 team the last half of the year and then flat out missing the playoffs is incredibly on brand for this crappy, horrendous franchise. I would love to be proven wrong. But I've suffered enough to know this little scheme the team is pulling. We finished 2 games out of 6th and guaranteed playoffs, and we blew two games to the Pacers and Nets earlier in the season, when they weren't trying to win. It's just who we are, Hornets DNA
