Coin Flip

IMO, trading down would be best even if we had won. There is a lot of quality depth on both lines and in the defensive backfield this year in the first couple rounds. If we could find a way to get 3 picks in the first 2 rounds, that would be perfect IMO. OL, DL, CB (not necessarily in that order).

DG suggested we may trade down as well because we currently don't have a third round pick due to the Olsen trade. Makes sense, and I think it's highly unlikely that there will be a "must have" on the board at 9.

Because there are only 8 guys out of 250+ in this draft that will probably pan out... good call. Bottom line is if we don't get a consistent starter at #9 than it is a front office fail.

Funny how wherever our team drafts, it is easy to say we are just outside the bubble of the elite talent. Fans believe that it takes the pressure off of picking a bust if you say it enough... Just because we might not get one of the flashy names that has already been thrown out pre-combine, doesn't mean that we aren't going to get a quality player. There has been plenty of talent drafted on or after #9 in the last few years and I trust Hurney to make good on another 1st round pick.

There are going to be plenty of quality starters that come from this draft, many of which will come from guys drafted on day 2.

I see people complaining or asking about who called the coin toss. Nobody does. One side of the coin is the Panthers Logo, the other side is the Dolphins. Whichever side comes up wins.

Trade down! Trade down, there's nobody worth the 9th pick!!! If that's the case WHO the hell is going to trade up, if the spot is so worthless?

[PantherBrew]

anybody who is worth the 9th pick, is just a worthy as the 8th pick.

This does not change the drafting strategy.

[Yaboychris28]

Fins aren't taking anyone we'd be desperate for anyway, and 9th pick = less money on the cap.. i'm very ok with this

lol. the difference of the 8th and 9th pick is a few penny's
