It may be interesting to note that the Panthers would gain a 7th round compensatory selection if Gino Gradkowski does not make the team.  His contract is for 3 years, but was only given 450K guaranteed.

I'm hoping the qualifying threshold goes up the $57,000 or so needed to bump him out or one of our other centers impresses enough that we cut him.

Already stoked to see what DG will do with an extra third rounder. To move up from the end of the first (and lets hope we are right there, at the very end of it) and in to the high teens in the first, what would that cost? A third and a fifth possibly? Given that DG has traded up the last couple of drafts, I find this scenario likely if there's a player he really wants

Wouldn't be surprised if he played one more year down in NOLA

You really think he wants to spend his final year knowing he has to face our offense twice, while playing on a poo defense in NOLA?

Don't forget, starting next year, comp picks are tradable.  This increases their value.
