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 see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
