Could this be us?

And if it is, what would you say about it?

There's a team in the draft that has a deal on the table -- I'm guessing New England (surprise!) -- with a team trying to come back into the first round. The deal will net the team dealing the first-rounder the following: a second-round pick in 2011 and a first-round pick in 2012. The deal, I hear, is contingent on the player the trade-up team wants still being there. Could it be Tennessee trading into the bottom of the first round, at 28, to get Jake Locker or Andy Dalton? Stay tuned.

From Peter King: Ten Thoughts on the Draft

Keep in mind, the team on the receiving end of the deal being the Patriots is purely King's speculation.

My own speculation is that if this were us, it could mean we're taking someone like Dareus, Green or Peterson first and then trading back into round one to take one of the lower rated QBs like Dalton, Locker or possibly even (shudder) Mallett.

This thoroughly fits Hurney's MO. Anyone who remembers the draft that netted Stewart and Otah knows that.

NOTE: If King has the terms correct, it couldn't be us because we don't have a second round pick this year, but I'm allowing for the possibility he doesn't have the exact terms. lf it actually involves a third rounder this year - or something else - then it indeed could be the Panthers.

Not likely.

So we would need to trade out of the #1 to net a 2nd rounder only to package it and a first our 2012 to get back into the bottom part of the 1st round?

You're misunderstanding the deal. The #1 pick isn't involved.

The deal is that the team on the receiving end (King speculates New England) trades the other team (maybe us) a first round pick in exchange for one pick this year and one next.

The hitch is if King is right about it being a second rounder traded to the Pats, it can't be us because we don't have one. If the deal actually involves a third rounder or something else, then it could.

I'm allowing for the possibility he has the terms wrong.

Were are not the trade-up team due to the fact that we don't have a second round pick in 2011

We are not likely the trade down team either because all players are "still there" when we pick

It's nice to dream though

See above (I should edit the first post to explain that) :sosp:

I am pretty sure if we pass on Cam Newton and trade next year's pick to draft a QB at the top of the first round there will be a Panther fan riot.

If we pass on cameron there will be jubilation in most of pantherland, I predict :cheers2:

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
