REPORT: Gettleman will not trade up from 8

[RoaringRiot]

Lol at people thinking Bill took a job that was going to give him less access than he had before. That would be journalistic suicide. 

Common sense ain't so common

Look, everybody has their favorites. Obviously yours is Barnett.

Every pick is a risk. At least through the first 4 rounds, I want us to use them all.

 

Hmmm, I see.

I've known Panthers media for over a decade. They all have had less inside info than outside reporters. That's not their job. If Bill can manage to buck that trend, and I hope he does, he will be the first.

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?

Cause thier guy is McCaffrey, he will be there at 8.

I'm not so sure anymore.

We'll be lucky if McCaffery is there at 8.

to be clear, when a journalist chases a thought with "IMO", that does not count as a report

Because, as has been pointed out before, this draft has been widely recognized as being deep in talent in the top 100 players.

Some players who would have easily been 1st rounders in other years could well be available in the 2nd round this year (I'm looking at you Cam Robinson, Taco Charlton, etc.).

So, if you're obsessed with only one guy, you're missing out on the opportunity to significantly upgrade your team at other positions and leaving that opportunity to the roll of the dice on 4th-7th rounders.

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...

Assuming a trade-down opportunity will be available is a less safe assumption even than assuming giving Shula a new running back is going to change and "evolve" his offense.

Or, as a counterpoint, he took a job that would more dependably put money in the bank and food on the table even with the negative of giving him less access.

(I'm not saying that's what happened, just giving it as a realistic counterpoint.  And I cast no aspersions towards jobs that dependably place money in your bank account and food on your table.)
