Post Your Reaction if Hurney Screws Us.

So, it's becoming more and more obvious that our desired, number one goal is to trade down. However, it's also looking less and less likely that that will happen. So, I'm taking this particular thread and dedicating it completely to the idea of each poster posting his/her individual reaction if Hurney, in a fit of desperation, completely screws us by trading down-but getting next to nothing in return. For hypothetical's sake, let's say we swap 1st round picks with Washington, while they give us their 3rd.

You can post a picture, gif, or just random letters and words in all-caps. We've grown pretty used to stupid draft day moves here in Pantherland, so I figure we might as well prepare ourselves.

I'll start:

Just one more day, fellas..

I don't think it is our #1 goal. I think it is something we are willing to do but we are not going to just give it away. It will have to be a very good package in order for us to move down IMO.

There is a difference between wanting to trade down and being willing to trade down.

I think the opposite. I feel that drafting Cam Newton is in NO way "screwing us"... If we draft Cam, I think it's a sign from Hurney and Richardson that they are willing to take a chance to be great! This is a gamble, but it's one I really feel that we'll end up winning!

Now... we need to work on some sort of nickname for Cam...

I think he makes the pick. I will applaud if we trade down though and go cheap again. In the face of what happens at 6pm today Big Cat may make a statement that he is gonna go cheaper one way or another.

I would not be mad if we gave it away for next to nothing at all in light of the NFLPA antics.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
