Trading down. Smart or dumb?

[nctarheel0619]

I was thinking about it, and the holes we have at LT lack of quality starters in on the line.  Missing another receiver.  Would trading down and grabbing another 3rd or another late second be smart or dumb in our situation?  

 

In before "I wish the offseason would end."  Or "Man, this thread sucks."  Or "thread sucks."

Every NFL team wants to trade down this year due to the depth of the first 4 rounds

Depends on your personal philosophy and then the compensation.

I'm not opposed to it if you have a plan, ie the trade with the Jets that still landed Beason.

Ha, duh.  Come on, that's the whole purpose of every thread.

Yes, because I would like to hear other Panthers fans opinions on this subject that aren't dick faces.

Smart if it happens. On the flip side, with everyone wanting to trade down it may not take much to trade up and grab Taylor Lewan.

Lets say that someone in the 10-15 range would swap 1st Rd picks with us for our 3rd? Do we pull that trigger? We would be getting perhaps the most Athletic LT of the draft. Doubt that offer would be there but as a fan, would you approve or not?

It happens pretty often on this board. Like, instead of writing something more captivating, people will just leave a huge wall of text that nobody's going to read and then append it with a "TL:DR" one sentence description that covers everything they said in 1200 words.

I know trading down is this new concept that's never been discussed ad nauseum before that it needs its own thread but somehow I get the sense that it would've been good enough to just pick any one out of 100 already existing threads going over the same poo to post this in and it would've been fine.

I don't think so, while Lewan is certainly worth the move, do we want to give up a third in such a talented and deep draft? I feel like you're likely passing up on a starter.

That's a lot of text to just say "this is a redundant thread"

K cool I was wondering why you had no confidence in this thread as if it would go over like a fart in sunday mass but with put downs like that I guess if I were you I wouldn't have confidence in any idea I came up with.
