Yet Another Trade Down Scenario

So Charles Davis and the talking heads at NFL.com seem to think Trent Richardson could fall to #9. I know, this is already in another thread but bear with me. IF Richardson fell to #9, I seriously believe the Panthers almost have no real choice but to trade down. That is far too much of a value player to pass up, and we don't have any room for him. What about teams that are hungry for a real impact RB? I could easily see a team like New England or Cleveland with one of their multiple 1st rounders, or the Giants all the way at the bottom of the 1st round wanting to trade up to #9 to pick up Richardson. Cleveland is obviously in need of a RB after shedding Hillis, the Giants might want to make a move to pick up Richardson after shedding Brandon Jacobs, and New England could use an upgrade from Green-Ellis and Richardson would not only upgrade their run game but their pass game as well. All three of these teams have the means and (usually) ambition to make a bold move like this.

If I were Hurney, I would sell Richardson to one of them in exchange for their 1st this Draft, seeing that they would be a low pick anyways, along with their first the following year. I would take no less than that and if any of those teams had real interest, they would likely take that price for an impact player like Richardson.

Thoughts? If he fell, do you think this would be the best course of action?

If we could get the Browns #21 this year and the Browns 1st round pick next year I would go apeshit with joy. Their pick next year will most likely be another top 10 pick so that value would end up amazing. And down at #21 we could probably still get a guy we really like, Brockers, Ingram, Coples, Jones could all possibly slip that far. Kirkpatrick, Jenkins, Worthy, Barron would also be solid picks in that range.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
