Gettleman basically suggested that he'd only give up a two or three anyway, if that. He's not giving away the house, people, even if he would do it.

Bill Voth's speculative tweets qualify as "reports" nowadays?

Special one going to special one

Bill Voth is now an insider. His teeets became more important the minute he became employed by the Panthers. Unless you believe in smokescreens.

Not moving all the way up to #3 does not necessarily equal "will not trade up". Trading up to #3 would just be too costly, but I could see a potential move up to say #6 if need be.

Gracias a dios.

We will have our choice of quality at 8. Stay put.

nobody knows what Gettleman will do so I wish they would quit acting like they do

If it only takes a second maybe a third round pick to go from 8 to 6, why wouldn't you do it to guarantee your guy?

The thing is, I believe Panther's will only pick at 8th, if one of following 3 guys will be there...

Saloman Thomas, Jamal Adams and Fournette, but I am even not sure about Fournette, DG is so fond about that 5th year option on first rounder, what will be reason to use a 1st on a guy, who could be injured and out of the league in 5 years (RB carry that risk more then any other position in NFL)....

All the other potential guys Panthers are interested, can be found in the bracket of 12-16, which I guess, we will do such a trade with QB needy team...

In this draft the talent level is too deep, especially at TE, S, RB, three key areas for us.   There are probably 40 players or more with first round grades (depending on who is doing the grading).  If we select properly we could end up with two players graded out as a first roundesr.

Because they are Madden GMs and know what they are doing. They clearly know the value of the picks and players of this draft because of YouTube.
