NFL.com mock draft: Panthers trade up for Reuben Bain

Pick

11

 

Carolina Panthers

 

 

Rueben Bain Jr.

Miami · Edge · Junior

PROJECTED TRADE WITH MIAMI DOLPHINS

 

GM Dan Morgan has said he plans to add "one or two" more pass rushers this offseason to upgrade the Panthers' pressure unit. So even though Carolina invested second- and third-round picks in edge defenders last April, Morgan sends a 2026 third-rounder and a 2027 second-rounder to the Fins to move up eight spots for a fellow Miami product. Bain's average length could push him out of the top 10, but he'll be a special player who can get after quarterbacks and hold up against the run

I really don't want to see Morgan doing any trading up in the first two rounds. It has not been a pretty picture.

19 to 11 won't be cheap and frankly we still have too many holes to go trading up. We're going to need out 2nd and 3rd rounders.

Yeah, no.   Lets not do this.  And lets not start a thread about every mock draft juan.

I'll allow it. Its the offseason....

[PadresPanthersFan]

Has trading future picks to move up in the draft ever worked out for the panthers?

You don't have to click on them its offseason lad

No point in trading up for a guy like that so Evero can put him in coverage for his scheme. Dan will draft a guy day 2 or 3 and sign somebody like Oweh. 1st round will be a T or LB

I’d be pissed. We get a starter at position of need at 19

Even for off season fluff this is a terrible mock and a terrible idea. This team needs to nail every draft for the next 2-3 seasons at a minimum.
