I think it's a possibility of them moving to #3 with the Giants for Carter because..

The Giants can't take Sanders at 3, it's too high (and too much pressure). Get a 3rd and 4th round and maybe a next year 2nd (not too steep) and they save face and get their man and we get ours. If the price is too much, Morgan won't do it. 

It's the same for us. We wouldn't mind moving back a couple of spaces but teams won't give up too much. If our top 3 picks are gone at 8, people might not give us a ton to move, but we may get something and still get a good player at 12-15 or so. 

I don't think teams will over pay to move up this year, so the next best thing is get what you can and still get a decent pick.

I’m nervous because we appear to be in a no man’s land where the top prospects look to be gone before we pick and no realistic trade down scenarios are available.

Im still hoping for something wild to happen and we get a player we didn’t expect to be there.

I know what all the mocks say but I doubt Ward is the only QB taken before us.

Beyond the first three picks, I think everyone wants to trade back in this draft. It is a buyer's market and the eighth pick might not have the value it once did when it comes to trades.

Make the pick, take the best player on the board (Warren, imho) and just move on. 

I feel you to a degree. I see at least 2 teams needing to go oline before us. Teams above us have horrible olinevplay and Qbs in place already. If they trade too far back, the 2 elite tackles could be gone.

I keep hearing the raiders are fixated on jeanty so he probably won't make it to us but because of that maybe someone falls

The jags have been rumored to be interested as well.  I still think they go Graham.

That is an interesting survey question as well.  If Jax does not like their spot, they could move up with Cleveland for Hunter.  calling it now--then Cleveland might feel better about taking a QB at 5--but they could trade back again and still get Sanders--just a hunch.

I doubt it. I don’t think Tepper has the patients to play the ‘long game’ with the draft and team building (hopefully I’m dead wrong). He has been largely radio silent, which is good, but  the draft has to be like Christmas to him.

I think he likes his (singular) guy, and is going to get his guy. Trading back is an even bigger gamble that his guy is still going to be available.

No one had Falcons picking Penix at 8 next year, so I believe there will be chaos at the top of this draft because of the uncertainty around the talent at QB this yr.....hopefully DM can capitalize and finally have a Panthers team fleece someone on a trade during the draft🤞🤞🤞

My gut feeling is that Sanders is still there with our pick and the Colts at 14 want to leap the Saints to get him so they offer us a fair deal. No fleecing on either side. Something like getting their 3rd this year and next years 4th.

I voted no because of this. I definitely think that we want to but I just doubt that we'll find a dance partner unless we're willing to get fleeced in the trade.

You've watched the Panthers on draft day. That's the only way we play.

The trades weren't the problem, it was the players they selected.

They thought XL could be our Mike Evans and they thought getting Brooks midway in the 2nd was a steal for a 1st round graded RB. 

Neither pick looks great so far.

    • I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.
    • I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.
    • You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
