I been thinking about it and thought it could be a possiblity. What about if we kept our 8/9 pick and took brockers or anybody else that fell like Blackmon, Claiborne, and etc. then trade our second rounder and maybe a couple of next years picks to take another guy we like such as Kirkpatrick or Jenkins in the later teens or mid 20's. I hate the idea of trading future picks away to build the team up with but if we could make something like this happen I wouldnt mind... Of course at the right price. Maybe Trade with the bengals since they have 2 firsts. Just a thought. What u guys think?

Personally I'd like to have brockers and Kirkpatrick/ Jenkins That's two starters that could come in day one and command a spot. Although I think brockers would struggle and dre k as well but later in the year I think they would contribute and be nasty. I know this probably wouldnt happen but I'd be cool with it and be pretty damn happy in the meantime

think of a team like the Patriots which unfortunately is a team you can almost guarantee to come out on the short stick against if you deal with them, but just for giggles:

They pick at like 27 and again at 31 I think. They get that 27ish pick from the Saints because of the Ingram deal. They are ending a historic run and are gonna need to build a defense that will be in place to bridge the gap to Mallet in the next several seasons.

They are looking at guys like Still, Z. Brown, Jenkins, Crick and Mercilus. Could they need a bigger splash at corner or DT and be willing to give us their two late firsts and their late 2nd at 63 (they have two) for our 1st and early second?

I think that would be great. We could look at basically the same players or I like what I have been able to read about Chandler Jones. Plus we could get that third in the form of a late 2nd.

The Patriots are looking at Brian Quick from what I can find online with that mid 2nd round pick. Depending on what Moss comes in like and how cheap he is they might be able to refocus that pick on defense as well.

Just spit-ballin'

I dont advocate trading the future away but if for some reason Hurney decides to do it, i'd rather trade this years 2nd and next years first for an additional first this year. The Otah one only looks soo bad because of his injuries. The times where he trades the next years first for a 2nd the current year( Everette Brown and Armanti) are when he's at his worst.

      I’ve haven’t seen anything that says we have interest in Njoku?

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      I think the Njoku interest revealed intent and the type of TE they want.  I really expected more from Sanders.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Defensive tackle (or end in a 3-4 base) is suddenly a rather significant need.  It seems to be a forbidden topic on the Huddle.  Well I am going to unforbidden it for this thread. When we lost Robinson, it was a salary cap cutting move, saving us about $9m or so, I think.  That suggests that we are going to get cheaper, younger, and maybe, more multi-dimensional.  First, what did we lose in Robinson: (Charlotte Observer)  "Robinson co-led the team in sacks (5.5) in 2024, and he ranked second among Carolina linemen, behind Brown, in sacks (2.5) in 2025. (Derrick) Brown played on 76.4% of the Panthers’ defensive snaps last year, while Robinson played on 62.2% of those reps. No other defensive lineman played more than 38.3%, as free-agent addition, Turk Wharton, dealt with injuries throughout his first season in Carolina. Wharton played in just nine games, producing 36 total tackles and two sacks. He’s guaranteed $14 million this upcoming season. Read more at: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article314544998.html#storylink=cpy OK, about Turk Wharton.  The Observer claims that he and Bobby Brown III were to rotate into the Robinson DE position, but that is too weird for my head to comprehend.  First, Brown III is a NT by trade and Wharton weighs about 280 lbs and is not stout vs. the run.  Brown III is not going to provide the internal pass pressure; he is basically designed to take on double teams and dig in.  Wharton, on the other hand, had a PFF score in those 9 games of 40 or so.  In fairness, he was playing with injuries, but Damn.  PFF gives me a higher rating at the Golden Corral buffet.  In other words, we need a true DT who can fill the two thirds of snaps that we just released.  We can't count on Turk and Brown III is not the answer.  Cam Jackson?  Same as Brown.  Have your people do what they do best.  Furthermore, Derrick Brown probably should limit his snaps.  Playing more than 3/4 of the snaps is hard on the body.  A tired player in the trenches is more prone to lower-body injuries. We need a player who can give Derrick Brown some relief and play opposite him as well.  Turk can rotate in but he needs to shoot gaps and give Guards and tackles fits--a change of pace.   I have to think we are going to draft DT much sooner than most Huddlers realize.  My favorite, you didn't ask? Probable second-rounder Gracen Halton (No. 59 overall, according to ESPN's March 2026 update). Once considered a Day 3 sleeper, his 2026 NFL draft stock has exploded into Round 2 or 3 due to elite interior pass-rush metrics.  Projected Round: 2 (Early to Mid) Key Traits: Elite explosive, quickness, 12.2%+ pass-rush win rate, and positional versatility to play inside on passing downs. Combine Highlights: Led defensive tackles in the vertical jump (36.5”) and broad jump, per Sports Illustrated. Draft Stock: Rising fast due to consistent 2025 production (7 tackles for loss) and a "freak show" combine performance, according to Stormin in Norman.  Halton is considered a high-motor playmaker and a potential Day 2 standout, notes   I would not be surprised to see DT on day 2.
