New trade down theory coming out of League circles

The Panthers are not going to know what other teams boards look like. They will not chance missing out on who they want just to let the Bears profit from using them.  The Panthers have contingencies in place for scenarios just like this. 

One of those being Jimmy G, if I'm thinking right.

IF the Panthers lose out on a top 3 pick, I can see them signing Jimmy G, then entertaining their own trade down scenario in hopes of maybe picking up a first rounder for the QB derby next year.

man texans fans gonna be so annoyed about that week 18 win lol

Something interesting i have read is that Stroud and Watson have the same agent and the texans might not be interested in dealing with him again after the watson fiasco. Young could be there first choice and be influential in them trading up.

if we want either of Levis or Stroud, i don’t see why we move any further up than 3. they won’t go 1-2.

Panthers may want to get Young, though. Likely have to get to 1 for that.

Not as annoyed as Bears fans after trading up TWICE in the last few years for qbs only to still be the worst team in the league.

Not going to read 4 pages of this, but it would allow the Bears to get 2 first rounders this year.

Get Arizona's first

Get Carolina's first and maybe a second

In this scenario we could just go to 3 and leave Chicago with their pants down

What about the Colts jumping to 2 and we're stuck at 3 with the leftovers?

If we like three quarterbacks as much as has been discussed, is that really leftovers?

In all likelihood Jimmy G is signed next week after FA starts.

He will sign with someone if he's asking for less than Daniel Jones received. I'm still trying to figure out how the Panthers make it work and fill out the rest of their shopping list. I seriously doubt Jimmy G would want to play for the Panthers unless they overpay him.

anyone but Will Levis please!

If we like three QBs then it's blind luck whether we pick one that succeeds.

How often do multiple QBs from the same Draft go on to have stellar careers?

I'm simply not ok with trading up, the juice isn't worth the squeeze, but if they do they'd better be going after THEIR guy with conviction - not just putting themselves in striking range of multiple guys they like.

This is my assumption: If we like Young and Stroud, we’ll have to get to 1 or 2 to get them. They will be gone by pick 3. If we are good with 3 of them with no strong preference we should trade with the Cards. 
 

Personally I believe Young and Stroud are clearly the top 2, then a drop of to Richardson and then a big drop of to Levis. But that is just my opinion, I obviously have no idea what the Panthers think.
