Do you trade back into the 2nd round?

[CarolinaCatBrigade]

All this talk about trading down and aquiring extra picks is great an all. But realistically I think we will be stuck at #1 (just my opinion).

Anyway, let's talk about the fact we have a couple of 3rd rounders, do we try and make a play to move into the 2nd round?

Maybe we trade down in the 1st, pick up a 2nd, and then use a 3rd accompanied with another pick to move back into the 2nd again?

Let's not forget, all the talk about the draft isn't just based on the #1 pick, but the fact that we have multiple picks

Your the GM, what would you do?

[Dpantherman]

Where have you been the past two years?

[mav1234]

Why would someone not want to try to get back into the 2nd?

It all depends on the cost.

[Delhommey]

So we use a hypothetical 2nd rounder paired with an untradable 3rd rounder to be in the 2nd round?

Only name I would be willing to give up picks for in the second is pouncey.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

A 3rd at the very top of the round and a 4th at the very top is easily enough to move into the 2nd, it's just a matter of how far you can move into the 2nd, who is on the board still for it to be worth it.

Love to have him but I seriously doubt he drops past the Steelers, if he even makes it that far. I'm thinking he'll go in the 20-27 range.

[CarolinaCatBrigade]

If we don't take a DT we could trade back into the 2nd to grab a higher talent at the position than what would be left by the time we picked again in the 3rd round.

[Dpantherman]

1 3rd and a 2nd for a 3rd round pick last year

Pouncey won't make it out of the first.

[Lumps]

You never know who will drop, especially for the first ten picks in the second. This would be a great value pickup. I also trust Hurney with more options than when he is limited. If we can somehow get into the second we can fill more holes. thats what she said

[panthers55]

The fact that we have the first pick in the 3rd round which is very equivalent to a late round 2 pick is the perfect reason to stand pat and not move up. Unless there is someone who just falls out of the first round and we think we need to get him, we can stay where we are and pick a guy who is still highly rated who falls down out of the second.

[Dpantherman]

we are not one of those teams that can afford to miss out on high draft picks every year. Id like to have at least 1 more year with a first and second round pick before i die. go down not up.

[Jackofalltrades]

Too much DT talent will be available in the third.
