I Have a Question

I just see the possibilities of having a historical offense, will draw the top defensive talent to Carolina. We see today that Smitty and Olsen, two of our top receiving threats, didn't have a lot of stats. Still, we dominated. The prospect of adding Kalil is very enticing to me. Again, with top defensive talent being drawn to Carolina, we could build our defense through that arena, and at the same time draft defensive prospects in rounds 2-7 where needed.

Ok the 3 first rounders talk is to trade up for the #1 pick for Andrew Luck. That's it. The thought of giving up 3 first rounders for an OL is well...

When I say three, I'm really talking two. (We trade our first this year, next year, and the year after.)

We move up to the second pick in 2012. So we don't lose a pick in 2012, only in 2013 and 2014.

Yes, but you are still trading 3 picks for 1 pick. If you have a super-cool marble I like and I give you 3 baseball cards for it, I didn't all of a sudden only give you 2 baseball cards because you gave me a marble.

Look at it this way. What would you say if Hurney traded our first pick this year (10-15th overall) for the Colts/Ram 2nd overall pick. Who would win that trade?

If you even traded next years first to move up and draft Kalil it would be dumb. I know you guys like the last name Kalil, but there are 3 OTs that are pretty close talent wise at the top of this year's draft. To trade three first round picks to move up to the second position and get an OT when there are 2 others that are very good would be historically idiotic.

If you reviewed Hurney's past succuss rate of trading draft picks to move up in the draft, would you have really asked this question?

Think before you post people. If not for yourself, but for the benefit of all the other members of the Huddle.

      Lance Zierlein's Position Rankings 2026 Draft

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      That makes me wonder, how many starting tackles in the NFL and/or elite tackles have short arms? I feel like there’s probably lots of tackles that end up being drafted in later rounds because they had short arms or didn’t have the physical tools.     also why not draft a tackle in the later rounds that we could move to guard or center if they fail, instead of drafting a center? If we draft a center we know they aren’t going to play tackle but if you draft a tackle they could end up playing any of the 3 positions, look at BC for example. It feels like it’s a better decision to draft a tackle in later rounds than a center.

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.
