Panthers Considering Trading Back To The Jets?

So I read that the Jets wanted to trade up for Ingram. I have also read that Jacksonville wants him as well. SO it seems that if the Jets want him they will have to trade up to the 7th pick. But lets say he falls to the 9th pick. Who thinks we should pass on arguably the best DE in the draft to pick up a third or possibly a second. If we go down to the Jets pick we likely lose out on Ingram, Cox, Coples, etc. Mayock has said that the 8th or 9th pick is the demarcation line between an impact starter and a good player. Remember our track record in the second round....

So does this mean we could pick up Stephon Gilmore in the first, then possibly Jerel Worthy and Rueben Randle in the second? Hell yes.

Conventional wisdom is that GIlmore may likely be gone by the 16th pick and Worthy won't be there at 40, and Randle is projected in the 30- 40 range. Likely none of the players will be there at those spots if we trade down. Hence the issue with trading down....

Our team is not going to trade out of the number 9 position, I'm tellin ya. ESPECIALLY if players start falling which is starting to seem possible. Kalil not going to Vikings opens up so many things

I call smoke screen on kalil not going at number 3. The problem with picking at 9 is there really isn't a diffrence between whats there at 9 and the rest of the first round. Trading back would be the best option.

    • I’m not suggesting that tanking is the right thing to do every time. I do think that if you have guys like Burns and Moore that you will trade anyway, then you should think about tanking and getting max value, especially if you want to grab a QB that might go 1st overall. We tried to do both. Trade CMC for picks but don’t take 3 1sts and a 2nd for Burns and Moore. Instead, we won a few games and then threw in Moore on a trade because we didn’t tank and we gave Burns away for a 2nd. Can you honestly say that fully tanking, by trading away all our best guys who weren’t in future plans, in 2022 wouldn’t have made our team better now? We wanted a rookie QB and we didn’t extend the main guy we didn’t want to trade. We were 100% in full tear down and we could have been a playoff team last year if we used the 4 extra 1sts or 3 1sts and 2 2nds (counting picks saved on Young by being pick 3 or 4 not 9) on D. Culture building is funny. It took three coaching changes to seemingly get there. Morgan and Canales weren’t in charge when we “protected” our culture. We still traded Burns and Moore, we just lost 3 first round picks in the process. Also, do you think the Eagles are in a bad place because of their coach clearly tanking a game for a draft pick? Remember that? It was obvious and the coach was fired. The funny thing is that this is something teams do all the time but they add their stars (like Cam in 2016, CMC, Burns, etc.) to IR or rest them in week 16/17. Pederson was just dumb and made it obvious. He could have just sat his starters to start. Anyway, did that incident tank risk their credibility? Did Barkley decide to not sign with them? Seems like their SB win and other SB visit say they are just fine. Winning makes culture, picking the right coach makes culture, trading away guys who are on other teams in a year for top picks and keeping more picks by having a better starting pick to trade up, does not impact culture. If it helps you win, culture will be fine, ask the Eagles.
    • Should get plenty of push up the middle with Derrick, Ashawn and Bobby B. That makes an Edge's job much easier since QB's don't have a pocket to step up in. Couple that with a few A gap blitzes with LBs and Safeties, and QBs should be flushed out like Duck Hunt.
