I think trading will be heavy, hell it already is.

My guy, the current trend is too add tweeners/positionless players, especially on D. The seagulls just won with them. Coaches don't want to switch out player like years before. That's where the Mccvay and Reid's are targeting. You can say the reason for Panthers going from 32 to 16 in ranks was dbrown, that true *but* right next to him for the reason is Tre'von Moehrig. He gave evero a weapon to move around- one that plays LB, NB, S, SS, and even blitz on any given play.

It puts more pressure on being right, I always feel trading back is the move 97/100 times. There are times where you fall in love and if that guy is only 7 spots away and the cost is only a 6th or pick swap......why not?? so long the cost is low, Im more willing to do so. Still one of the best teams at trading back and they torn apart the Panthers on those trades; Pats. You still have to pick the players, that's what matters. In theory you should always add picks, but it does get to the point of eight 3rd rounders or two late 1st and a 2nd?? I mean every draft is different, so the talent maybe not fall off a cliff after pick 50. Case by case deal, but vastly I prefer to trade back.....another curve if you trade back and the scouts/coaches have not planned for it. You have to be ready and know the spot you are trading too (everyone). Just like trading out of 1st round two weeks before the draft, that hurts your team as they have been focused on pick 10 and now its wait until pick 42....

IDK, just I know these mock drafts are time "wasters" and even more before FA cause that does change a huge portion of the needs. I think Panthers are in on Lloyd, but just like Milton Williams if the numbers get too high they will change course and still sign one of the lesser ILB. I've also seen reports Panthers want boom back as well, but as STer/backup. Personally Ive put Wallance in the Ickey, Brooks zone....... Acting like he's not on the team and if he shows out during OTAs, mini, and TC GREEEAT!!! I feel Panthers need to sign at least one and draft 1-2....hell even add another Bam-like UDFA in the UD pool too. Trade is on the table, there have been many trades than past years...... Given the team history, the LB corp is saddest ever. Still the league isnt paying ILB and Panthers finally got with that trend. I do feel Evero wants a IBL that can blitz and everyone wants one able to pass cover. I feel no matter what, Panthers will draft one in the mid rounds and add a couple in the UDFA class.

got 1 of all, last one before FA ruins everything....

Panthers have past over Mays like three times, cut and lost the TC battle and when other got healthy they put mays back on the bench. I'd be gooonne.

Its from the combine doctors and some team in the teens leaked the infro(my guess), its 100% legit. My thinking is he was a game changer with a bum knee. MCL should heal before TC and if he makes it until the end, fix the knee/acl/whatever in the next off-season. Like the short armed DE bain, he's not going to fall far even with bad news...just too good.

Im sorta surprised tua for Murray or Watson wasn't done. It off sets the huge dead cap by having a QB with lots to prove on a new team. Yes, I too am terrified of the contract panther may offer BY and I do think there will be one. They have just got to first year of getting over the whole BY trade and his at best meh play. Its the Dave and Dan choice that either get fired or stay.

You know who before clicking.... What say thee in off-season dull- Horn for 13th overall...... its a near wash in cap saving(+1,350,000). Id ask for more mid and future picks, but I'm willing to do just the 13th.... Rams want to go all-in with Matthew and are willing to part with either 1st for a proven DB talent..

In the piece and others reports have the fins and cards as the main teams. With the cards being the leader, funny how both are losing big numbered QB then even looking at Willis for 60.......good luck with paying the QB spot near 100mill in cap space.....

@csx hit a homer run with his statement, I too wish I stopped reading/hearing terrible stories about one of my favorite players. Now in this crazy sound bite/go viral/why are these athletes taking about stuff that was off-limits.....hell its like the fuging navy seals yapping with podcast stuff...just why??? for clout and bits or $$$??? ugh Im too old school. Steve needs to shut his big mouth, but that's his check maker now...which I feel is past due to end given all the recent reports....

Panthers have 85 million in cap space for 2027, they could use a portion of that for signing FAs now. Simple EX, longer years with high guarantee/signing bonus. 30 million SB over 5 years is 6 million + min sal(1.__) thus the cap number for year one is 7.2. Year two or 2027 when the 85 million is there, base jumps up 10 + 6 pro-rated SB= 16 million cap number. I believe they have many plans. If certain players agree to their numbers, you could see some contracts that use future tricks to borrow from 27+ to land 26 FAs. I think the main plan is one big fish either Lloyd or a edge or even a LT. then wait for 2nd wave when prices drop hard. Sign about 4-10 bargain bin players and head to the draft with around 27 spots open....
