Why trading up in 2026 is a bad idea.


Recommended Posts

I would love to see us move up and take Styles but IMO that would cost us s 2027 first round pick.

Our schedule next year is brutal.  We will play every division winner and we were under .500.  This is brutal and the possibility of having a top 5 pick is very possible.  The bad season would almost certainly be because Young had a bad or mediocre season.  Giving up a first-round pick would cost us the chance to get a replacement for Young. 

Thoughts?

I think that is a better idea especially since the LB group this year is pretty strong but the thought of us getting Styles is tempting.  I would trade up for him ONLY if we don't have to give up a 1st next year.

bro he is going in the top 10.  It would take a haul to get there from 19

We have way too many needs to trade up. There will be good prospects available throughout that also fit a need. If you had a crystal ball that could predict future All-Pros and HOFers, sure. But there's no sure things in the draft. Great prospects bust every draft and some mid to late rounders end up being very good pros.

Just have to take what comes to us. Styles is going top 10 easily and top 5 is a real possibility. That trade up cost is going to be ridiculous. Stay put, take the BPA or if we get a good offer, move down a little and see if we can't pick up an extra 2nd or early 3rd. We have needs at S, LB and IOL and day 2 is a good place to find them. Tackle may be in play in the 2nd as well depending on who falls.

2019 traded up for Greg Little

2022 traded up for Matt Coral

2023 traded up for Bryce Young and DJ Johnson

2024 traded up for Jonathan Brooks and XL

2025 traded up for Nick Scourton.  

1 out of 7.  Hopefully, Morgan is still humbled by his '24 draft and won't think about it.

Scariest part of the Little trade was Hurney said if Burns hadn't been there, Little would have been the pick in the 1st. Thank you to Daniel Snyder for being a meddling idiot and taking Haskins at 15.

    • CB Michael Jackson, Carolina Panthers Last offseason, the Panthers re-signed Jackson to a contract that averages just $5.25 million across the two years of his deal, which ranks only 40th among cornerbacks. However, Jackson rewarded Carolina with an excellent season, as his 83.5 PFF overall grade was the third-best among cornerbacks across the entire year. More specifically, from Week 7 on, his 90.7 PFF overall grade led all players at the position, as did his 91.4 PFF coverage grade. In addition, he also allowed a passer rating of just 42.8 during this period, which paced all corners. Jackson capped off his 2025 campaign by being the best player on the field in Carolina’s wild-card loss to the Rams. On eight targets, he gave up just one reception while forcing four incompletions and recording an interception as well https://www.pff.com/news/biggest-free-agent-bargains-of-the-2025-nfl-season-sam-darnold-mike-jackson-and-more
    • RB Rico Dowdle, Carolina Panthers Dowdle signed a textbook example of a “prove-it” type of deal with Carolina during the 2025 offseason. The former Dallas Cowboys runner signed a one-year deal that was worth just $2.75 million, which ranked only 33rd among the annual average earnings of all running backs — essentially meaning that he was not paid as a starter for last season. However, that did not stop Dowdle from racking up the 14th-most rushing yards among running backs with 1,076 during the regular season. Further, Dowdle was essential over a five-week stretch between Weeks 5-9 when the Panthers went 4-1 — recording half of their wins during the entire season over that window. During this period, his 652 rushing yards led all running backs, with the gap between him and the second player (Jonathan Taylor) being the equivalent to the gap between Taylor and the 10th running back. In addition, Dowdle’s 85.0 PFF rushing grade also led the league during this period. Despite not being paid as a starter, Dowdle had a huge impact on the Panthers during a crucial time of the season
