Darin Gantt: Trade down from #33

[Brooklyn 3.0]

You don't trade down unless your team is right on the brink of winning. We are not.

[Leaky_Faucet]

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.

So funny how everyone is against trading down in its entirety because of an old GM. I'm open to the idea.

[Mike in Raleigh]

No.

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'm against the idea of trading down because the Panthers need talent, not just bodies.

I'm not a fan of the two dimes > one quarter mindset. Take the BPA. 

What if your team is full of pennies? Then I would take all the dimes I can get in one season

Who are we kidding?  We all know the panthers will fugup the draft like they always. They haven’t drafted a guy worth a poo  since CMC or DJ Moore and dumbass Tepper traded them away. 

[JPPT1974]

I think that privately Tepper regrets possibly trading down both CMC and DJ Moore!

[strato]

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.
