You can play that game all day. Plenty of talented players went AFTER their pick as well. How about Tank Dell? 

That is the point though, why trade down? Thats a Scott Fitterer special. THE MORE THE MERRIER!!!

Also happens to be a complete disaster of a draft.

Hard pass. Be good at evaluation, take BPA.

Good at evaluating is the key. You can miss on 33 just as easy as 42. If we get someone who can evaluate well trading down makes sense with all the holes we have.

Yeah, I just disagree. We have our pick of the 33rd guy overall and a complete extra day to break it down. Just take the best guy.

No reason to get cute.

This is a multi year rebuild; can’t fix it all in one year.  Addressing the OP’s immediate question…

1.  WR that can get separation.  No slots, please.

2.  LT

3.  C/G

Assumptions:  BC gets first shot at LT next year.  Ickey is moved inside and competes against Zavala, Mays, others for a starting spot at LG.  C/G pick backs up Bozeman and Corbett.  LT pick backs up BC and Moton.  

Go run heavy.  Re-sign Foreman, admitting our mistake in letting him walk. 

Bryce gets one more year to demonstrate that he is or is not capable of being an NFL starter.  If Bryce disappoints in 2024, we draft higher in 2025 and pick Bryce’s replacement.

2024 is going to be butt ugly, no matter what we do.  Might as well sort out our WR and O line issues in 2024, setting up Bryce or his 2025 replacement for more success.

Why stop at 42?  Why not trade down even further and get even more picks?

We would get a higher return the lower we swap. I was just using last year’s example.

I think the Panthers will have to build via free agency due to trading away so many valuable draft picks. There are so many holes it is impossible to fill them with the draft. The key is getting the right GM and HC…..and making sure they are strong enough to tell Tepper to back off.

Erm, you do remember that the people who would be making that call thought Bryce Young was the best player in the draft, right?
