would you be opposed to moving back up for Bijan Robinson?

Huge hypothetical here. It's a given QB is our biggest need and many things can happen there from a Carr signing to a Fields trade all the way to us moving up for Stroud or so. but say wr stayed at 9 and selected say Richardson, and kept all our ammunition. Would you be on board with selecting bijan robinson if he slipped into the 20s?

Let's remember Hubbard is the only other returning option as our current starter isnt under contract. RB is a need. Guy is hugely talented being compared to Barkley and given our questionable returns at RB i think it could be considered. What say you?

Honestly, it's hard for me to think of a reasonable price that would be accepted in that scenario. 

Robinson is arguably the best player in the draft regardless of position but there is absolutely no way I would take another RB in the top 15 unless it was literally the only thing lacking on my football team.

It's just such an insanely devalued position. Just look at the playoff teams.

Not top 15. I'm saying he slips to say 20 or so. we keep number 9.

We just traded away (arguably) the best RB in football.  And you want us to draft another?  Come on man.

The leading rusher in the SB was a seventh round pick for heavens sake.

If we trade up, it better be for a QB - regardless of what round we're talking about.  It's the only position in football worth trading up for.

Yeah but I can't think of any trade scenario where we aren't giving up next years first or multiple picks(2nd and 3rd/4th or whatever). 

I would rather have a cheaper running back in the 2nd-5th round that I can get away with because we might have a pretty good OL. 

We gotta get away from this strategy of having an elite RB. It really doesn't matter anymore. Doesn't mean it isn't nice to have but it just doesn't win games in the modern NFL. If we can get an elite talent at a not 1st round price, all in.

Yes. We’ve seen what we can do with solid mid/late round/undrafted backs if we were a team like the Bills or Chiefs it makes sense however with our roster construction a highly drafted rb let alone trading up for one should be so low on our priority list. IF we’re not trading up for a QB unless it’s for a DE WR CB OT (if we trade Moton) it’s not the move. I’m of the belief that you only trade up early for premium positions then maybe if a rb falls in the 3rd/4th you consider it if you have him rated highly.

We did trade away the best in the NFL and a lot of people are saying we didnt get enough for CMC. He helped carry the 49ers in the playoffs and the best friend of a young qb is a strong running game. I'm not saying trade up for just any RB. this is one of those Generational talents. Getting a sure fire stud at the position where we only have hubbard returning is very viable.

      The Panthers Huddle Offseason Special

      I'll be patiently waiting to see what OL additions we snatch off the waiver wire.

      Look don't get me wrong here. I'm not arguing it's going to just change his arm talent overnight. I'm just saying doing anything on the physical front after the GM who stuck his neck out for him over the concerns around his physical traits got fired is better than doing nothing. That's another layer. It could easily be argued overall he needed to add at least 10 pounds not just for the sake of working in the pocket and not going down so easily but let's be honest eventually no matter how much we invest in the OL he's going to get hit some and those hits will add up. His frame as it stands is only going to absorb so much over a 17 game season. Oh definitely good or bad we will have to run a lot of under center stuff. Bryce will either look good or flounder. But our offense will remain stagnant if we just keep running shotgun plays 90% of the time. You're telegraphing your offense otherwise. That's why I'm not giving Chuba Hubbard too hard of a time over his YPC last year. We weren't fooling anyone. We'll see what Canales has cooked up. It better be pretty damn clever.

      Why would a team ever not be aggressive in improving the roster? It may look different from year to year but even the best rosters churn at the bottom. That's a no-brainer.
