Odds we use next year's #1 draft pick...

I think we'll use next year's first to move into the beginning of the 2nd this year, similar to what we did with Brown last year...

As it stands, we only have 5 picks... a 2, 3, 4, 6, and a 7...

I could see us using next year's first, and our 6th and 7th to get an early 2nd and a 5th this year...

This would leave us with a 2, 2, 3, 4, 5 setup, and I feel this would meet our needs better. We'd go for solid WR and DE picks in the 2nd, and BPA the rest of the way out...

A few months back.. I would say Hell no like most ppl. but now.. we could use more picks. and also in 2011, everyone may possibly be on the coach the whole season next year, so some fans and staff won't care too much about next year's draft IMO.

If I was Hurney I would so trade next year's 1st. Wow.. 3 years strait without a 1st round pick, lol. But if it happens, it will be with a team that has two 2nd round picks.

If I was a GM of any NFL team, giving up an impact player for this season for the chance of two impact players for the following season seems to make little sense with a possible lockout on the horizon. Remember, lockout is just not for the games but for training camp also. You want to spend all that money (including signing bonuses) on two first round picks just to watch them sit on their arse and not even practice and learn the NFL system?

Oh, and saying there will be no lockout because they will resolve it is shortsighted. Two years ago 99% of everybody was saying the exact same thing about an uncapped season.

Teams who have more than one second rounder:

Tampa Bay (3, 10)

Kansas City (4, 18)

New England (12, 14, 21)

I doubt we'd trade with a division foe, so that cuts out Tampa Bay... But I'd think both KC and NE would be interested in moving...

That said, I also think other teams without multiple picks would be willing to give theirs up in an uncapped year... Some cheap owners may be looking to stay away from paying second round contracts and might actually want to move down for that reason alone... Sure, it'd still take a good deal to get them to budge, but I suspect there will be a good amount of movement in this draft just because of a capless year...

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
