Do you trade back into the 2nd round?

[benchedpunter]

There are so many elite DL some might fall into the early 2nd rd.

[Stumpy]

Our 3rd (not the comp) and our 4th would get us up to around #52-55. Players available in that range would be...

Stephen Paea DT OSU (maybe)

Marvin Austin DT UNC

Titus Young WR BSU

Gregg Little WR UNC

Marcus Gannon G TCU

Danny Watkins G Baylor

Curtis Brown CB Texas

Ras-I Dowling CB Virginia

The question is does anybody think any of those players would be worth our 3rd and 4th? IMO Paea would but I doubt he actually lasts that long.

gotta stop mortgaging future picks to move up. How does New England feel about their giving up a third for our 2nd round pick this year? They're feeling pretty good about it...dang it.

They have proven to be the best at making such deals. I could actually see them trade away 1 or 2 firsts this year to stockpile a boatload of firsts next year to go after Tom Brady's successor.

would rather trade our 3rd round pick this year for a 2nd rounder next year

for once I'd like the Panthers to be the team fooling others in the draft :(

Couldn't agree more. It's not like we are going to the big dance this year.

Look for opportunities to take advantage of someone with a "win now" mentality, and reap the benefits down the road.

[Mr. Scot]

History will tell you that Marty Hurney loooooves to trade.

[Grammer]

this trade should have nailed hurneys coffin shut

Yes! I would like to trade down and get multiples, but if we trade 3rd, I'd rather have higher pick next year. Probably better talent available then.

[JawnyBlaze]

If we don't trade down from #1, I REALLY hope we don't trade next year's 1st to get into the 2nd this year...we could easily be giving up a top 5 or top 10 pick...I'd be ok with trading next year's 2nd and this year's 3rd for a high 2nd if there's someone there Hurnivera really want, but NOT next year's 1st. I don't care if we were given two seconds and a third this year for it, DO NOT TRADE NEXT YEAR'S FIRST!! It's a vicious cycle.

[CatMan72]

If we can grab a guy like Marvin Austin or Greg Little (yes, I'm a UNC homer) then I think it would be worth trading back up into the 2nd round.

I think Marvin Austin might end up being the 2nd best DT to come out of this class behind Dareus.

[g5jamz]

You can't use a comp pick for trading first off.

And the only way I'd consider if is if you'd think you could get a Marvin Austin in the late 2nd....but if it's not panning out...wait and get Greg Little to see if he falls. Otherwise...take BPA.

Marvin austin, maybe adrian clayborn
