REPORT: Panthers interested in moving UP in 1st round

[Camp Fodder]

 

I doubt we move up in the 1st, it's just too costly.  However, if the right guy slides, who knows?  If a guy Gettleman has in the top 15 is still on the board and we're a few picks away, it'd be worth making some calls to inquire.  But, if we do trade up, I think that's the type of trade we'd make - just moving up a few spots to secure a coveted guy, not making a big leap up the board.

So we are not moving up to get Jalen Ramsey?

[Shocker]

Will Jackson is a beast if we end up with him I'm happy.

[Jase]

next year's first for derrick henry.  do it, hurney!

I keep going back to what DG said a couple of years ago about reaching on guys.  More often than not, trading up in the first is reaching on a guy.

I don't see this happening,  I look at what he has done the last few years and it seems to me he has done everything he can to put us in a position where we don't have to trade up but have the luxury of trading down if we want.

lol....teams who "may" try to move up.

talk about a bogus article.  Let's name random teams at the top and random teams at the bottom and suggest they want to be where the other is

Exactly, words like "belief" and "may" reveal this is total speculation under the title of "rumors".

What are we giving up though? A swap and a 4th? Then hell yeah

Not shooting this down, just saying it isn't likely.

What we give up depends on where we move, might be more than a 4th though, our 4th might as well be a 5th as late as we pick.

[juliosantos]

What would hurney do? Trade up to 5 and draft sua cravens;)

[t96]

 

Its obvious.  Moving up to get derrick henry.

Luke and our 1st to SD to get Henry. BAM

[JJman Returns]

I wouldn't trade up for anybody. We've done our research, one of our guys will be there when we pick 

[jdpanther5]

Doesn't really seem to have legs, but I think it could make a lot of sense. It's getting harder and harder for rookies (6 picks plus UDFAs) to make this team. A couple years ago we were starting UDFAs, last year we only had two that even made the team, and they basically redshirted. Of the draft picks, only the top 2 saw meaningful time, while the other 3 were basically relegated to special teams or the inactive list. 

Basically, instead of standing pat and taking whomever happens to fall, why not use a day 3 pick to move up and ensure you get a guy you REALLY want? Quality over quantity, quarters for dimes and whatnot. Grab a top target instead of risking settling for a second or third option + a late round guy who may not make the team.

I don't see us trading up but trading down a few spots then I would like for us to pick hunter then use that extra pick and trade back up and pick Derrick Henry . ....... Mic drop

[XClown1986]

We want to jump in front of Green Bay so we can get Noah Spence.

[Randolph Panther]

Id stay and pick Kevin Dodd and try for D. Henry in the 2
