That was the past time to move forward hoping the new staff does better then previous regimes. No matter what we need more impact players do a trade should and seems like our number one priority.

I agree completely about needing more impact players but based on what Dan Morgan did in the 2nd round last year trading up for not just a luxury position but an already injured player in his first draft his judgment is a concern until proven otherwise. Hopefully he learned something we'll see.

You want to know who to pick? And this is easy, you take Tyler Warren first, Kenneth Grant second, Josiah Stewart third, Xavier Restrepo fourth, maybe Cam Skattebo 5th...

Man, it's NOT HARD. At all. 

I’d love if we somehow ended up with Grant

when you are not drafting BPA then sure it makes perfect sense to trade down.especiqlly when you take in consideration the fact that this particular draft class has an over abundance talented  of edge rushers 

now if the Panthers were seriously considering taking BPA at #8 I would be more inclined to stay put 

Well, I think the issue with this draft os the gap between pick 8 to pick 32 is almost nonexistent at a lot of the premier positions.

So, sticking around at 8 doesn't have a ton of value, IMO.

As long as it's not a bargain

I think a lot of teams want to trade down and it's going to be a buyer's market. We won't get what we normally would have in past years, unless we manage to catch someone desperate like Dallas. But then again, Dallas may have other suitors even before us.

We should hopefully be planning on making that pick at 8 because if there is a lot of trade traffic before us, then some very interesting players may fall out in the mad dash.

Trading for the sake of trading is stupid. Calmly waiting and keenly observing what is really going on around you is wise.

So yeah, there's a chance we trade the 8 pick for the number 117 pick, three flat footballs and five cases of nacho cheese sauce for the concession stand.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
