on Draft Day.. the way that Marty waited til the very last moment to show his cards on the Gross/Pep deal.. and the way the organization hasnt let any info slip throught the cracks these past few weeks.. we have been on lockdown and i fully expect Marty to throw the monkey wrench into the way things work on Draft day..

what say you? before D-Day? on D-Day? or does he stay with the team this season??

They will need to get this done at least a few days prior to the draft. Otherwise, how are they going to know where they will be picking, what players to scout, etc.?

I think they will be forced to scout a wider range of 1st round talent than ever before. Every player on their big board top 50 has to be considered now because they just don't know.

Unfortunately, this could lead to a poor pick. It's much easier to know you are picking 20th a month out and be able to focus your energy on players you can realistically expect to be available at that slot than to have to scout everyone because you don't really know where you will be picking.

They could also have their eyes on certain players and feel that if a trade for Peppers can be made that would put them into a position to pick player X, Y or Z then they will take it.

IMO, that is how I would like to see Hurney handle this situation and if they don't trade Peppers on draft day then try and trade him during the summer when some team will un-expectantly will have a huge need at DE like the Giants did last year. Then the Panthes will get some 1st round picks in 2010 and hopefully the class will have more depth at positions the team needs as compared to the class this year.

Luckily the FA class is pretty weak this season.

Would like to grab up some DLine to compete, but that level player will hang around.

His trade would have to be before, as he would have to have a contract in place with some team for them to trade for him.

Roger Goodell: Welcome to the 2009 NFL Draft.

Goodell: Before we get started, there is a trade we need to announce.

::more cheers::

Goodell: The Panthers have traded Julius Peppers to the Detroit Lions for their 1st Round pick this and and their 1st Round pick in 2010.

Wishful thinking eh?

Honestly I wouldn't bite on that deal. I think if Pep goes we need those multiple picks now. I would rather take a 1st and 2nd or 2 3rds this year than to have a 2 year deal like that. I think we need the talent now.

EDIT: Upon 2nd thought, Detroit has the #1 pick, so I might take that and look for a trade down for multiple picks in the 2nd.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
