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.

    • To all the analysts who said "Caps in 5", thank you for telling us their departure time.
    • We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
