Have the Panthers played this well?

To answer the question though, I love how we've played this. We have put ourselves in a position to get a franchise QB at the worst. The rest is just smoke and mirrors depending upon what/who we can live with. I mean, if you pick up a franchise QB AND a extra pick, how can you get mad about that?

That's what I think, although I would imagine that if we are sure that we can get something for nothing and still get our guy that we might do it. 

It would take at least 3 teams to want the same player, along with carolina would have to trust each team involved as well.

There is point where the offer trumps your board too....

I go back the bears trading form 3rd to 2nd. 49ers got them to believe another team had a real fair offer to trade up for Mitch trubisky. 49ers had zero interest in a QB by many reports and bears figured Mitch was their "guy". So they sent 3rds and 5ths in order to draft Mitchy....

Between raiders, colts, zona, texans, and even with pass ties to seahawks. Each of those teams is have plenty to turn this draft into one giant mind fug.

Don't know if it happens, but if it does I could see it happening on Draft Day rather than before.

If Stroud is the next Herbert no one will think we lost this trade in a year.  Let’s just hope he is.  That’s who I want. If it’s Young I hope he can be like Murray without the maturity issues. Hoping for the best and supporting either of those two at this point.

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

Love Downs but I honestly think I'd rather have one of the top TE prospects at #39. I'm just concerned about his durability at the NFL level. He did t miss many games at UNC but it seemed like he was always dealing with some type of lingering limiting injury.

I'd be upset if they traded down beyond 2. I don't think the Texans feel the need to trade up and would be happy with either QB.

Only other team that makes sense is the Colts. Even if they offer a first rounder it's not worth it imo. You go from picking the #1 QB to potentially the #4 QB and you look like an absolute dumb fug if any of those QBs picked ahead of you ball and yours fails.

Has any team in NFL history traded up to #1 just to trade out of it? If it has happened it wasn't recently.

I think it’s all just smoke and mirrors in the offchance we can hustle the Texans into thinking that not only are we good with either of the top two guys but also might take the guy they want. Don’t see it happening but crazier poo has happened.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
