No nice toys

[SmittysLawnGuy]

We need almost any trade back. (Even in a slight loss) All of our guys will be gone. Graham, Carter, Hunter. It's a crap shoot after that, Id say Pierce but he's an ahole. Green, but that's probably the color of his member. Walker, T rex that can't workout. Tet hides cause he's slow. Stewart, 1 sack per year. If we can't trade back uggh! At that point I'd take either of these 4. And forget your Kiper boards Give me Walter Nolan (DT), Nick Emanwari?(safety from S.C.), Tyler Warren (TE) or Matthew Golden (WR) Mykel Williams ehh. I give up. It's just us, every pick above us is valuable. We fall into the next 20 guys. It only hurts a lot. Mommy!

A move back to between 15 and 20 to add and extra 2nd would be a dream come true for me.

While that is nice in theory, I think most teams will want to do the same. So the problem becomes that nobody wants to trade up and if they do, it's a buyer's market so they won't offer close to value. I highly doubt we are trading back unless some team in the Early - mid 10s sends us a really good offer

I would even take a trade back into the 20s if they had an earlier 2nd.

Going to be hard but that's the wish. The guys in our pick range are not very good for a #8 pick.

If a QB is there, we can get a decent haul

I disagree. Not many blue chip players in this draft and one will be available at #8 no matter what. We need so many players that we need to take BPA. I’m all for trading down with any other pick but no way I would trade #8

100%. The depth in this class is outstanding at several positions of need. We need more 1st-3rd round picks. The value had at 8 isn't worth it, IMO.

The pool of obvious elite players is extremely, extremely small. Likely all of them will be gone at 8.

In drafts like this there are so few wow players that the media will have to overhype up guys to fill the time. It's plausible someone falls in love and makes a move. Not every team has needs as gigantic as the Panthers. It's not a lock for sure but given what's likely to be available # 8 it's what I am hoping for as it stands.

Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough, Quinn Ewers, Brady Cook, Will Howard...?Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders aren't necessarily locks to go before us either--they probably will, but there will be some surprises.

A blue chip player, or especially a trade back is still very much a possibility.

Yeah, this is pretty universally acknowledged as a very, very weak QB draft. I don't think we get a QB bump unless Sanders or Ward slides but that is also a scenario where the NFL's most QB desperate teams are passing on them, which is a bad sign for value to trade up.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I’m all for taking BPA. A trade back to accumulate more picks would be great.  I might not be in love with the BPA we pick, but this roster is at the point where you just gotta take the medicine and deal with the after taste.

I would like Warren early, defense next three picks, then Cam Skattebo in the 3rd or 4th round. You can’t teach elite grit. You can’t teach elite everything which Warren has. 
 

warren and Sanders would almost definitely provide the duo teams have been reaching for with tight ends since the Gronk Hernandez days.

True true, but one man's trash is another's gold. If there's a surprise or micro slide, some GM is going to be chomping at the bit to exploit their newfound opportunity. Moreover, somewhere within their minds will be Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix. Someone's gonna call Dan, but will what they're offering get him to move? That will be the question.
