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.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
