We trade down with Giants (who want Bo) to pick 47 and get their 2025 second. 

At 39 we pick Ladd

At 47 we pick JPJ

 

For those interested

Legette goes to the Chiefs.

AD to the Lions

Worthy to Chargers (via Minny)

Chop to Tampa

Kool-Aid to Ravens

Darius Robinson to the Cards (via Hou)

Probably take that. If Bryce sucks again, we should be picking near the top in 2025. Two 2s could come in handy to move up for another QB, possibly. 

Pretty sure we traded next years 2nd in the Bryce deal lol. Gonna sting for a while longer

Here is why I have been predicting a trade of pick #33:

Everyone leaves day 1 and meets before day 2 begins.  Someone will want that pick.

If we can add a second rounder, it gives us the ability to trade up in the 2015 first round if needed.  The Panthers are turning the corner in 2024, but they plan to hit the gas in 2025.  The future is part of the equation.

There is a pretty flat plateau of talent if you take away need.  I think we will grab a WR and a LB in round 2, so the difference between 33 and 47 does not impact the LB market much.  If Ladd were to fall from 33 to 39, it would be a win win.  Just my opinion, but we need that second rounder to have some options next year should we need to move up for a QB, for example.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
