What could a trade down look like?

Did I read somewhere Joe P hinted that AR was 2 on our board or am I insane? 

I think it was yesterday he mentioned something similar to that on WFNZ. Also, he wrote an article about a week ago that Richardson is still in the mix at 1.

There are reportedly teams who have Hooker rated above both Levis and Richardson.

I'm not surprised by that.  Before we traded up, I had him on my Radar.  Not at 9, but somewhere that may have involved trading to later in the first and scooping up other picks.

I believe it.  I think Hooker is pretty underrated because of his age and the injury.  He was very good at Tennessee.

I get the age argument (yes you might have them for fewer years... might) but there's something to be said for maturity too.

Seriously, why are we bringing JSN in for a visit?  Are there rumors of him dropping because he didn't play much last year?

Kunkel was late on reporting that because news about that visit came out a few weeks ago and yesterday was the last day for pre-draft visits so I’m sure he’s already been in the building.

Panthers. 

Sorry about the vagueness, I am in a Zoom meeting that I don't care about, but I have to listen enough to make sure nobody says anything incredibly stupid.  Merely stupid is normal, but incredibly stupid I have to speak up on.

No worries mate, no need to be sorry. My reading comprehension could use some work. I hear you on the meetings🤮

Getting back on topic, you read/heard we were high on AR?

2nd and 12 is what it would vost if they want young. 

Nothing less. 

yeah and that's only if we also like Stroud which I'm not so sure of any more. If we are sold on Young even that's not enough

The AR rumor has been circulating for a while.  I doubt we are higher on him than we are Young or Stroud, but who knows?  The latest is he may be our #2 (behind Young), so then you get into how far behind #1 is he and all that speculation. 

Richardson has perhaps the highest ceiling of all the QBs in the draft, but the chances of him being ready to start week 1 or in September or even October are not all that great, IMO.  I think we are looking for a more immediate impact.  There is also a chance he is a complete whiff.  But that's just my view of the world.

That's the heart of the question.

If the Panthers are as equally "convicted" on Stroud as they are on Young (and yes that's genuinely possible; multiple reports confirmed that they had at least two guys in mind when they traded up) then a trade down scenario truly does make a lot of sense.

If not, then no reason to move.

My ultimate answer to the whole thing is I don't care who they take or where they take them as long as it turns out to be the right choice.

To quote Metallica, nothing else matters.

Sat basically the whole year with a hamstring, while already only running a 4.5 forty. Probably limited to slot, people question whether he can get separation in the NFL

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
