Next year's draft is going to be loaded

[C47]

While I don't disagree, just about every "next year" is loaded. Last year, Hunter was a top 2 or 3 pick, the next AJ Green. Now because of his injury he's an early 2nd, late 1st at best. Last year Mingo and Montgomery both were top 10 for sure. Now Mingo might be, but only because of putting on a show at the combine. Before the combine they were both highly suspect. Robert Woods was another top half of the 1st guy, now he's looking more and more likely to go in the 3rd. And of course, Barkely.

They'd still have 5 picks after the hypothetical trade. And I don't think the quality of guy they'll get at the top of the 2nd is much of a drop from at #14.

I wasn't even considering your trade idea as it isn't close to being realistic.

About what? What round Woods goes in? I don't care what round he goes in, could be anywhere from middle of the 2nd to end of the 3rd. /shrug

Wasn't my idea, and it's no more unrealistic than any other hypothetical trades people speculate before drafts.

More like end of the first to somewhere in the 50's..... you made the comment he's looking like a third rounder and I said wanna make a sig bet. Thought the bet was simple enough.....

I think now more than ever, the Panthers need to find a way to trade down and acquire an extra 1st round pick for next year. I know we need positions filled and everything but I would much rather have two 2nd rounders this year and 2 1st rounders next year.

Just to name a few of the guys likely to be at the top of the draft next year:

Jadeveon Clowney DE

Sammy Watkins WR

Marqise Lee WR

Taylor Lewan LT

If the Panthers can get two 1st rounders for next years draft they will have ammo to move up and grab a blue-chip prospect that the 2013 draft is lacking (Outside of Joeckel and maybe Fisher). I'm willing to wait if it means that one of these guys here or possibly another big time prospect will be in Carolina in 2014 (especially Sammy Watkins or Clowney). Just a thought.

You forgot Jake Matthews. Pretty much the 2nd best OT behind Jockel if he had enter the 2013 draft.

Eh, nah. I have no real opinion on where he goes, just what I'm seeing trending in the hundreds of mocks I peruse.

If you wanna make a sig bet, and if you're one of the Hankins haters I'll sig bet you that he goes in the 1st this year :) People seem to think he's slipping, but I still say he's the 2nd best DT in the draft behind Star.

Agree. Hankins will still be a 1st rounder
