I fail to understand why a team would trade up 1 spot. Just seems like you are giving away picks for nothing. Has to be something that I am not seeing.

Team A: Has the pick

Team B: Wants the pick but is farther back than team A wants to go but they might do it.

Team C: Doesn't want Team B to jump them so they make a trade with Team A to get their player and not get jumped.

Jags are doing work. Shored up the defense in free agency, then mess around and get Fournette and Cam Robinson. They look like world beaters on paper with the exception of Blake Bortles

Now that they are helping their oline and got a great back, Bortles will be much better

because JAX believed another team was going to trade with SEA for the player JAX wanted to take at the next pick

A better RB with more skills? I can't disagree.

A physical back-up that is closer to what Stew can do? I disagree.

I mean, if we are drafting a back-up and eventual replacement, i'd like them to be able to do AT LEAST what Stew can. That is a lot to ask though and a majority of Panther fans take what Stew can do for granted.

Side note: My wish of having Cam Robinson is ruined.

Jags probably moved up for Robinson, which is what I wanted us to do. You can't just sit at 8 and expect the guy you want to fall.

(presuming we wanted Robinson at all)

Jourdan Rodrigue said today we weren't as high on him as everyone thought

Other teams probably call to trade up to that spot. For example a team at 55 calls the team at 32 in front of 33 to get their guy. Team at 33 doesn't want to be jumped so they trade up a spot

The Seahawks gained nothing but a 6th round pick there to move down, they seem literally scared to make a pick.

They will use it to trade up shortly

[Ja Rhule]

Is this draft 15 mins a pick?

[Mark S]

[Panthero]

Makes sense. Not sure I would have traded up for that particular player, but c'est la vie.

I agree. Blake Bortles has all of the tools. His decision making is questionable but he can improve that over time. They are in a position to possibly contend this season, and with the Texans QB questions, might be the favorite to win that division.
