Have the Panthers played this well?

[Jaxel]

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? 

[Mr. Scot]

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.

[Daddy_Uncle]

They put them in a position to take whoever they want. Also they put themselves in the driver's chair. So now they will be the one's receiving phone calls and listening to trade packages. There's nothing negative in my opinion about the trade. DJ Moore is easily replaceable

[OneBadCat]

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.

There would be literally no point in trading down, thats just being cute for the sake of being cute

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.

Why would the Cardinals trade up to 1?

They’re rebuilding.

Panthers are just stirring up the drama/attention pot......

 

[Jaxel]

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.

There'd be no reason for them to but it seems to be thrown around on here as an option for some reason.

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?

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.
