Would it be worth it to trade up...?

If either Greg Robinson or Jake Matthews fell out of the top 10 somehow? What if Sammy Watkins fell outside the top 10? I don't necessarily want to trade up but if its for a guarenteed franchise LT or #1 wideout, I think it could be worth it.

I don't think so with our current holes, especially when there's a lot talent in our positions of need this year. If anything I think trading down could come into play unless someone we really like has fallen to us. If we however don't end up with a player of need that's BPA, such as another defensive end, I could see us trading back, picking up an extra third.

Well its flip sided in my mind. We trade up and nab a #1 or franchise tackle, while relinquishing what would likely be a future first, which would also save us cap room next season on not having to pay a first rounder.

On the other side, in losing that future pick wed lose an opportunity to add talent at one of our less solidified positions.

In all seriousness though none of the above fall out of the top 10 and the panthers will not make any splashy trades

Theres no pinned thread for an ongoing discussion so I have no problem with repeat threads like this honestly.  Not interested?  ignore it, its that easy.  Otherwise you have to search and bump an old thread thats going to irritate you just as much as the new thread.

 

You really have to give up a lot to move up in the draft.  With the quality of some of our picks lately its nice to think about having the full arsenal.  But it comes down to how much do you love the prospect?  Atlanta loved Julio Jones so much they used 2 first rounders and multiple mid rounders to draft him.  But that first rounder ended up being a very late round pick.   I bet they'd argue that it was worth it as he was one of the best wideouts in the league before injury.  Even with that college arm QB they have.

 

I don't know if theres anyone like that in this draft.

It's not pinned because there is no discussion to be had. It's been said over and over. The draft is deep in the positions we need. Why trade away picks when we can draft multiple guys? This should be a consensus but these topics keep coming back up.

Next someone will ask why we haven't cut Deangelo and Stewart.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
