There are two reasons why a trade down this year could be more valuable. 

A) There are a lot of teams needing a QB this year. If Penix or Nix makes it down to 33, you could bid that pick off.

B) There will be 4-6 QBs taken in the 1st round. This means there will be a few "1st round talents" make it into the start of Day 2. 

I don't recommend the Panthers go far past 33 if they do trade down. There is a  talent drop off around pick 40-42.

as much as people would hate it, trading up from #33 to say 32 or 31 to get that 5th year option on your player is worth it.

It really depends.  Can you think of any instances where the 5th year option was crucial?  Most players that are hits are extended by then.  I don't think the 5th year option is as valuable as some think.  Move up if you think the guy you want is going to be gone.  I wouldn't do it for a 5th year option.

I can’t recall the source or time but I’d swear that sometime around one of Tepper’s tantrums, he supposedly asked, rhetorically, "what have they/he done to my team” and I think he was referring to Fitterer. 

I can’t find the quote. IMO I get why they moved CMC, but the DJ Moore thing was inexplicable considering how much help he might have offered.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.

      This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like.

      If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
