Trading Down, Again And Again

I just don't see who would trade with us. That's the problem. If we had the #8 pick, this would be a different story.

The trades would marterialize on draft day as teams see who is slipping and available. Too early to tell if trading down is a likely scenario or not.

The fact that Tannehill might be going early, like is being projected lately, hurts our chances of trading down. If somehow Richardson slipped, I could see Cincy trading #17, 53, 117 to move up. Thet would still have #9 and #21 and substantially improve their chances in 2012. They could also offer #21, 53, 85, but it would be tougher for us to get a top(second) tier guy at 21.

I would love it if Dallas, NYJ, or Phi would fall in love with OL, but I'm not sure they will with any of these guys. The bright spot is that the old trade value chart is less relevant now with rooklie salary cap.

Another possiblity is a team that really wants to give a crap ton up for Kuechly. Even though we've looked at him and he can be a great asset to have, I think if the Jets or Philly or some LB needy team wants him, they'll trade up. We're in good position for a trade to those teams that fall in love with Coples, Kuechly, Tannehill, or Richardson if they're available at 9.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
