Pick trade speculation from Gant


posthumecaver

Recommended Posts

For the last month Gant was speculating about Panthers might potentially trade next years 1st, let say for New Englang's 34th and a 5th or 6th rounder...

Now I thinking over this possiblity, with an additional trade, lets say we also trade this pick for a low second round and a low 3rd...

So we would have 2 2nd at the range of the 50 - 59 and 2 3rds at the range of 80-93...

at the 50-59 range we should have Sidbury, Marks and Gilbert there, picking any combination of them there would be quite Ok I guess...

and at the 80-93 range we could get a serviceable OT/G/C and a CB...

I would not consider this a bad scenario and would not be that down about giving next years 1st because it looks like with JP locking our Salary Cap, we have to build our backups with draft...

I believe we would not able to trade JP after the draft, FO would not trade him anything other then draft picks in this draft....And I have a strong feeling JP would holdout (because he is Julius Peppers, he is the only guy who can holdout instead of a 16mil$ pay-check)...

We need lots of picks to fillup the positions for the backups..

I think if we are going to make any moves we should trade next years picks as we did last year. I don't see the compensation of trading Peppers really helpful to us right now. Many see NE only giving us a 1st. Thats not enough. I think we need to try and get an early second or late 1st round pick regardless if we trade Pep or not.

I say stay where we are, and not put ourselves bigger into the draft hole. If peppers is tagged again next year(the uncapped year) and we trade him him then than we will be sitting pretty in the draft next year with maybe 7-8 picks.

As I mentioned before, I have a feeling Peppers would holdout and cripple us...

I am sure we would get some undrafted good guys and some bargain from the FAs but our roster at the moment around 54 I think...

We would have to get 80 people to reach the limit of 80, if 7-8 guy of this 24 would come from draft that would be good....

Otherwise we would have to work people that nobody else wanted...

pepper's isn't going to holdout, you seem to hold him in a different light than other people

even the people who don't like him feel like he won't hold out, it's just not a good career decision

At 29 going on 30 it would be insane to hold out. Not even he and Carey are that stupid...

I'd say Nah, for us to give up a first in Next Years draft (deeper talent wise) then we would have to get the 23rd pick plus a 3rd or 4th as well. Then depending on how we finish the season it would be a win or a loss trade value wise.

What you want and reality are about as far part as they can get. Why the hell would they trade a 1st and a 3/4th round pick for our 1st round pick next year...when there's a good chance it will be worse than 23!!!!

A 1st in 2010 = a 2nd in 2009

A 1st and the $17M in Cap Space is DEFINITELY enough for Peppers.

I can't believe I never thought of this before:

Why don't we just trade next year's first for a first this year. And then do the same thing every year for the rest of the franchise's history. Then when the panthers / nfl cease to exist we will have gotten one extra first round pick.

What scares me is the character of Peppers...

We are speaking about an extremely shy and inner reflecting guy...

Do you think he would play against in a stadium that is booing him....

I sincerely believe only reason he is not signing his tender is that he doesn't have to play for Panthers...

I am not buying that he wants to control his destiny think, do you think when Peppers says he doesn't to play for a team, that team will invest 80+ mil$ and multiple draft picks to a guy who says he does not want to play for them...

2010 is going to be a better draft class talent wise.

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
