We might trade to get in the 2nd

keep an eye open if DE/OLB Justin Houston keeps falling

I mean we've had some recent success with UGA pass rushers, just saying, ...would fit in nicely with our new blitzing defense, plus has the versatility and speed to play both DE and OLB

I'd like to, but I don't want to get raped like the Falcons did.

i don't think there's anybody left who's so appealing Hurney would want to trade up most of a round to get, and I don't think he's gonna dangle our 2012 first rounder in other GMs' faces. Bowers is just too much of a concern to even consider at this point, it's sad but what are you going to do. However say if there's someone who plays a position of need with a first round grade still on the board in the second half of the 2nd, it's likely he'll be willing to barter

whoever it is, it HAS to be an impact player than can start immediately. no more of these project picks like Edwards/Brown.

Davon House? I really don't like trading our high picks :/

The 2012 class is going to be so stacked... it'll probably be a high 2nd too.

[SOJA]

Will probably trade up for Marvin Austin, Stephen Paea, Kyle Rudolph or Aaron Williams.

Would be fine with any of them but Austin

Any one of those players is well worth trading up for.

Get 'er done, hurney!

While I wouldn't mind the move up if it came at a decent price. I just don't see that happening after today's trades.

Both Atlanta and NO gave up a lot to move up in the draft this year and I look for that trend to continue through day 2 at least.

I expect that it will take at least 3 picks to move up into the second for a team in Carolina's position. I'd say a 2nd rounder next year, then this years third and 5th round picks to make the move into the second round.

The talent is definitely there to make it worth while, you have some highly rated impact players still left on the defensive side of the ball. There's also the fact that there are still a few highly rated 1st/ high second round QB's including Ryan Mallet and Andy Dalton still left on the board.

Teams like NE and Cleavland know this and will be asking for quite a bit to trade back, so while I would love for Carolina to make the move to get a big time DT or CB prospect. I just don't see it happening because of the cost to make such a move.

Even if we can't trade Smith tonight, there's still the possibility we trade a pick next year to move up and then replace the pick by trading Smith for a similar pick next week or whenever the lockout is really over.

Maybe they can trade for another guy who can help us as much as Edwards, Brown, Jarrett, or Shelton. Hurney has a great track record of making these trades. I'm sure the other GM's have his number on speed dial when the draft rolls around so they can take advantage of him.

Is every post you make negative?

The conversation about the 2nd 3rd pick is moot because the 4th round pick is essentially a 3rd...

Don't know if I'd package them both to move to 2nd and keep the comp pick (end of 3rd)/

I think that's what it would take to move into the top 10 picks of the 2nd round. And if we can get Paea, Austin, Rudolph, or a very good CB (whoever it may be, Harris/Williams/whoever) I think it's worth it.

I expect Mallett and Dalton AND possibly Kaepernick to be gone in the first 5 or so picks, so I don't think their availability will be driving up prices where we'd be looking to trade into.

Wouldn't really want to move into the bottom of the 2nd unless we can do it relatively cheap, like giving up our 6th or something, cuz at the top of the 3rd we might as well wait...

I'd give our 3rd and 4th this year to move into the 10-20 range of the 2nd in a heartbeat.
