Have the Panthers played this well?

Reports that we are looking to trade down, some say we stay, some say we want Stroud, others Young. Now even reports about Richardson. Honestly, no one has any idea what they are going to do. The last few years it feels like the Panthers plans were an open book, easy to read. But are the Panthers pulling off a legitimate smokescreen here? Or have the made a rash move an now outsmarted themselves?

I don't think the trade down thing is a smokescreen, but word is it's unlikely they'd go any further down than second overall.

I guess the wild card would be if the Cardinals made some insane offer, but slid still call it unlikely.

If we can work out a deal to move down with the Cardinals and take Hopkins off their hands for them while also landing Stroud/Young I'd call this a home run.

Can multiple trades happen per selection or is it just one per pick ?

It would be a total Panthers scenario where we trade to #2 with Houston, then some other team swoops in and trades with Houston to take our guy.

Picks can be traded as often as teams want

I think we're fine.  Just stay put and grab our QB.

The most important thing now --we'll just have to be careful with how we maneuver the 39th and 93rd picks.  

TE wise--Kincaid & Mayer will likely be off the board, WR wise, Flowers, S-N, Addison & Johnston

WR: Hyatt, Downs, Scott TE: LaPorta, Musgrave, Washington are the names we should be looking at in my opinion.

It could be in our benefit to trade down if a team is targeting one of the many top EDGE talent that will be available.  Move down a tad, gain another mid-rounder.  Almost HAVE to take a receiving talent, but I tell you, if a guy like Ojulari is available, would he be too good to pass on?

I think the only threat to trade up is the Colts. Is this just trying to get the texans to move? I read somewhere that Caserio is not looking to trade up though, so there doesn't seem to be much incentive.

If the Texans thought the Colts were trading up for the guy they wanted, it's possible.

Mind you, I don't really think it happens, but I also don't think it's just talk. They're serious.

If we land Downs in the second to pair with stroud that we won the draft with 2 picks.  Everything else is gravy.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
