Panthers select Julio Jones?

[Jackofalltrades]

According to Gantt's latest mock we do. Of course it comes after a trade back, but I wouldn't be upset with it, however, in this scenario Fairley is still on the board.

I'd rather take Fairley based on need, but Jones wouldn't bother me at all.

Thoughts?

Wait. Julio Jones isn't named Cam Newton... Confused.

[Mr. Scot]

I think Gantt is bored.

In all seriousness, if we could get the deal he suggests I would like it, though I think I'd personally go in a different direction than WR. I understand how there is DT depth though.

Gantt seems to be sold on Newton more than he thinks the Panthers are, though.

I'd be ok with this, especially if we picked up a 2nd for the move. I'd rather have Dareus, though.

I don't see Hurney getting a 2nd and a 1st, he usually comes out on the short end of trades.

Thinking you could only trade this years picks since the draft next year is not a sure thing at the moment.

I thought it was pretty absurd until he mentioned getting Marvin Austin with the second round pick acquired in the trade. Austin, Jones, and maybe Stanzi in the 3rd would be fine with me. Then we get Jordan Cameron (TE) at the end of the third and Marcus Gilbert (RT) at the top of the fourth and we would be doing pretty good in first four rounds. Throw in a corner, linebacker and maybe another DT and I'd be more than happy with those picks.

In the scenario he listed....I'll take it.

I thought it had been confirmed that you could trade future draft picks, thru 2014 or something like that.

[mav1234]

It has been. You can trade future picks for the next few drafts. I even thought I heard something about how teams could agree in principal to trade veterans for draft picks or something ridiculous, but i'll have to find the thing.

I wouldn't hate getting JJ but I'm not a huge fan. I'd probably go Fairley or Amukamara if the draft went like that. I know he's off the board when we pick in this mock but I think if we trade down a dark horse guy that I wouldn't mind taking would be Quinn.

I'd take that Skins deal in a heartbeat (though I'd probably try to get a future 5th out of them as well).

Also, I wouldn't mind trading down again if we could get a good deal. Drop down to about the 21-25 spot, get another 2012 1st rounder and take Pouncey.

If we can find a sucker to give us 3 picks for the #1, I'm all for it. It would require an overzealous team like the Skins who continue to make bad moves.

Green > Jones IMO

Green > Jones IMO

Most agree but he's off the board in this scenario.
