More Smoke? Adam Schefter: CAR traded for Young, then checked other QBs. They did not bridge gap.

If you haven't noticed, there are certain huddlers that believe all the Young talk is nothing but a ploy to get the Texans to trade draft picks and give the Panthers another first rounder. It can't possibly be real interest or that the Texans were blowing smoke when so many rumors had them interested in Young weeks ago.

The Young talk is valid. He's definitely very possible, though all reliable sources say the decision isn't made yet.

That said, on the occasion of the Texans offering a decent package to trade up, do the Panthers take it?

If the offer's good enough, I think they do.

Mind you, that doesn't make the Young discussion a smokescreen. It's just the acknowledgment of another possibility.

My point is it’s not some colossal mistake, it’s backed by film and analytics that the professionals use. I trust Reich’s opinion over people on a random message board.

I mean, it could be, but so could Stroud, Richardson or Levis. And hell, even the best coaches and personnel guys make mistakes.

But I'm like you. I trust the people we have in charge now and will do so till they give me reason not to.

(here's hoping that doesn't happen anytime soon)

Well, there was the Lingerie League.

(which, if my significant other is reading this, I want to make clear I absolutely positively never watched a single second of; I only know about it from seeing news articles online)

But when one or two of them happen to get in on a thread, look out

Depends on who the Panthers want and if they think the Texans want the same guy.

In that scenario, the Panthers are equally happy with either Young or Stroud.

(and probably get Stroud)

Yeah you are correct any of them could bust.  I guess I mean the NFL wouldn't be shocked if we draft Young first.  In fact it's almost expected it will be him or Stroud.

Is there a precedent for this? A team trades up to 1 for a QB and then trades out of it to recoup picks and let another team make the decision for them. I understand they inquired with Arizona and Seattle for their respective picks, so it indicates they may be comfortable with several of the Qbs in this class. 

IMO, it comes off as trying to get two dimes for a quarter.

To me stating we were ok with trading up to 3, but the price so similar to 1 so we just did 1 shows we are comfortable with several prospects.  Also the fact that we still haven't decided who we are drafting kind of shows the same thing.  If that is truly the case and the Texans really like one vs the other then it makes sense to me.  It's a lot of "ifs" though.

Am I alone in thinking it is very simple and black and white that we are not trading down?

We made the trade to control the draft and pick who we want. It's not a good thing imo to say oh we're fine with whoever you don't take.

We're really gonna fug this up.  Smh.  Just wow.
