Just to put it to rest.

Potential reaction from "Carolina Crazy V2" if we draft someone with the first overall pick?

I am not looking forward to all the pissed off people who bitch and moan that we didn't trade out of the first pick. And then those ignorant shmoes who have no clue behind the scenes blaming MH for not doing so.

People so casually suggest that we "should just trade down," almost like it's only up to the Panthers and not actually the trade partner initiating the trade.

you don't trade for the simple fact of trading... you trade when you can get something of more value than what you have, which at this point does not seem to be offered to Carolina. It takes at least 2 teams to make a trade happen and with the Panthers being the only willing team at this point, you can't fault them for not making one happen. If anything I commend them for not giving in (yet) to any short-sided trade offers. Whether or not this ship stays on course... we have a few weeks to find out.

If we actually had the ability to trade players with draft picks, I think it would be very viable to trade down.

In this instance, though, I don't see it. The Panthers would basically be asking for a swap of 1st round picks and a 2nd from a team wanting to move up a few spots. I don't see any other team with that big of a hunger to move up that they'd give up their second round for it.
