In Gantt's blog today he mentioned that he has been hearing mumblings that the Panthers intend to wind up with more picks in the draft even if it has nothing to do with a Peppers trade.

Wouldn't surprise me

I'd like to know where they are going to get these extra picks. If they trade down the chances of getting quality contributing players become more unlikely. Maybe they intend to load the roster with more projects since they don't have anymore back ups for the OL.

Remember what we did last year?

I can't see us trading next year's first and additional picks to get into this year's first round (we may have a first if there's a Peppers deal), but I could see us doing something like trading next year's first to get a second and fourth this year. I'm not necessarily suggesting that exact scenario - that may not be the right value trade-off - but something along those lines wouldn't surprise me.

We are usually pretty good about swapping picks about and moving up and down in the draft, but I just don't see that happening this year. They only way we get into the first round is via Pep...and if he even goes, I still think we'll get screwed. We don't have any team backed into a corner over Pep, we just have Pep backed into a corner (and he us) over his contract. But come draft time, teams will have us backed into a corner if we feel we "have to" trade Pep (can you say for a 2nd and a 5th?). I don't think we will think that though and the team you see right now will pretty much be the team come game time, save an added cheapo back-up here and there.

we will trade next year's 1st rounder.. you heard it here first

i dont think thats a smart move just because all of are needs are not deep in the draft this year. if we trade up it will be in the 13-28 range and the talent pool for are needs will be low by then..and nexts years draft prob will be better talent wise

we did not have a tough schedule last year..and draft picks are never overrated..FA are

it's easy to look back and say it wasn't tough, but that wasn't the consensus before the season started...

...much like the upcoming season. i remember all the hooplah on the huddle about carolina winning 9-10 games tops.`

picks for this draft class are overrated.

Neither one of us said that we would trade next years first for a first round pick this year. We both only said that we very well may trade next year's first. I said that I could see them trading next years first to get more picks this year (i.e. rounds 2-5).

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
