Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

This is one of the few drafts I can think of recently where the depth is much better than the scant amount elite players at the top of the board. That being said, who has be be gone prior to #8 where you are saying, trading back is just as attractive of an option as BPA?

To me it's:

-Graham

-Carter

-McMillan

After that, to me (Jeanty aside whom we will not draft) players aren't moving the needle much more than the next prospect for several picks.  I'm cool with moving back several picks and getting one of the next cluster of Edge guys.

Carter, Graham, and Hunter for me. Other than that I'm listening to offers. Hell, I'm listening to offers anyway. I'm not doing the Gettleman thing of submitting the pick immediately. If the phones are ringing there's no cost to listening. Maybe someone has an offer so good that I can't refuse.

Here is another question:  If you drafted Hunter, where would you play him?

CB with a package of plays on offense. That's the best bang for the buck. It's a lot harder to contribute situationally on defense and he's a better CB than WR as is. This is all for moot. He's gone before #8 unless he gets indicted for murder between now and draft day.

Looks like you favor moving back as realistically none of them make out of the top 5.

Good thread idea, 45.  I get why you added McMillan, but I think I would keep my list to 2--Carter and Graham.

I might add Will Johnson if we don't land a free agent CB who is starting caliber--

Johnson seems to be beneficiary of a seemingly weak CB class, certainly top echelon ones.  Granted I haven't dove into the draft as much this season as prior years, but I have yet to see glowing reviews for him.  Stated like this, would he be a top 10 CB in a stacked CB class?  Similar to the QBs this draft, Sanders and Ward would have been second round selections in last years QB class.

I'm definitely for listening to offers. Always a chance someone else values a remaining prospect a lot more than you do.

Still a long time until draft day too. These big boards will change a lot post-Combine when the press will get a lot of scout access and get a better idea of how actual NFL talent evaluators view these guys.

I have said the same thing

I have the same concerns.  Not playing this year makes him tough to gauge.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
