Just testing out a theory

If it means anything to your theory, I think it would be absolutely stupid to trade Smith for Rivers, as that would be taking his (Rivers) number one target away.

Sure, you could sign someone else, but no one on the board has come up with any viable, legitimate #2 threats, much less someone for #1 that's actually realistic and possible.

As for Williams; I would be more inclined to give them Stewart. Both backs are needed for one of them to succeed, but why would you trade your known star when his replacement might be troubled with injuries?

On a personal level I'd not trade either of my favorite two football players for anything.

However, were this my business I'd have to seriously consider the offer of Rivers for Williams.

Bringing him here without Smith would be a waste though.

Smith for Rivers is a "Gift of the Magi" trade (i.e. the loss of what you give up offsets the benefit of what you gain) so no, I wouldn't do that.

Williams for Rivers? If not for Moore's last five games, I'd think about it, but in the end I probably still wouldn't do it. Too close to another "trade off" result.

From the flip side, I seriously doubt San Diego would do either deal. An older receiver for a young QB? Not a good trade. And why give up Rivers for Williams when you already have Tomlinson and Sproles?

Because they're going to release LT and Sproles isn't an every down back.

      The great Joe Person's Panthers mock draft extravaganza

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      It’s definitely a bit of a crapshoot, but Joe covers the team for a living—there’s a baseline expectation that he should have a deep, working knowledge of the roster, positional groups, and overall team needs. That kind of familiarity should come through in the analysis. At times, though, it feels more like he approaches covering the Panthers as an assignment rather than something he’s genuinely invested in. When you read some of the other beat writers at The Athletic, the contrast stands out. There’s a noticeable difference in how deeply they dive into roster construction, scheme fits, player development, and front office philosophy. Their work often feels more detailed, more nuanced, and more connected to the day-to-day reality of the team. That’s not to say Joe doesn’t provide value, but compared to some of his peers, the level of insight and depth just doesn’t always feel as sharp or as thorough as it could be

      BOLD TAKE: Panthers will draft Jacob Rodriguez @19

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Tony Pauline: https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-news-sources-giants-heavily-weighing-wr-with-ten-pick-amid-malik-nabers-injury-concerns-david-bailey-a-game-changer-for-robert-saleh/ Surprise Picks In The First Round As we get closer to the draft, the chatter is getting louder about surprise picks in the bottom half of Round 1. So which teams are talked about as pulling shockers right now, just a few days out from the start of the draft? Most I’ve spoken with say keep an eye on picks 20, 21, and 22, presently owned by the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Los Angeles Chargers. I’m told cornerback Chris Johnson and linebacker Jacob Rodriguez are in play for the Cowboys with the 20th pick, their second selection in the initial round. Rodriguez is also being spoken about as a possibility for the Buffalo Bills at the 26th pick.

      Who was better Jon Beason or Jrod???, for college prospect terms in their drafts...   I think its clear and Jon was what 25th?   Jarod does have luke-like traits and that was 9th overall.   I feel Jon had him covered tho....
