They had as many if not more or less when they picked Johnny Manziel..  They are the Browns for a reason. They've had so many high picks that they should have been a good team by now. 

Not just that but a team full of college kids with not much experience.....Yeah not exactly what I'd do.

Good

4 in the top 100 is nice. Here are our recent top 100 (ish) draft picks

For comparison: http://www.panthers.com/team/history/college-draft-history.html

2016: 30,62,77,: Butler, Bradberry, Worley

2015: 25, 41, 102, : Shaq, Funchess, Daryl Williams

I would seriously consider trading this comp pick to the 49ers for LT Joe Staley.

The stage is set.  No reason we can't seriously improve the roster top to bottom and be right back in the thick of it.  This needs to be Gettleman's best offseason yet.  

[Cary Kollins]

So we got a 3rd round pick for Josh Norman?

Absofreakinlutely.  Three years of quality for a guy that a previous regime already dangled for the world.  My hunch is they may demand more, but a win/win can be found.  Our comp 3rd+6th?  Our 2nd with them giving back our 2018 4th?  His value based on age/salary should be no more/no less than a late 2nd/early 3rd.  Find a way!!!

To get to 5 would take 8, the early 3rd and a 4th.  That'd be pretty close.  Man, Cleveland's team is going to be completely different next year.  They have a ridiculous amount of picks.

If picks 1-7 truly break our hearts and they have a guy they want in front of the Bengals, a trade back is more than possible.  To move out of the top 10 and behind the Saints, it'd better be good however.

One of the deepest classes at positions we need this year.

Good time to be a Panther.

And this is why i'm a bit surprised that so many want to move up and give up some of those picks.  I really think there are going to be some quality guys at positions we need in the third round this year.

I hear you but unfortunately our biggest need, OT happens to be a very poor position in this draft class.

This is why trading draft picks might just be the only way Gman can properly address our LT spot.

By the way, one factoid that's probably way under the radar that increases this possibility is the fact that Shanahan and Lynch were given SIX (!!!) year contracts.  i.e. no pressure to win early.  Accumulating long term assets should be their goal.
