Panthers Mock w/Trade Down Scenario

[Swaggasaurus]

It’s not worth doing that because of the 5th year option. With the way it’s set up the only thing that makes sense for teams is moving further back in the first.

[Palmetto]

Trade talk before the combine and prodays is kinda pointless

Top 10, 25, 50 list are going to change so much from here to april 27

All options should always be on the table always. We have an extra 3rd, so if there's a guy slipping who we really like we should be willing to move up a few spots to grab him (#24 + one of our 3rds should be able to get us up into the 18/19 range). On the other hand, if there's no one there that we love at 24 we should field some calls if there's any offers. I would like to stay in the 1st though due to that 5th year option. But yeah, trade down a few spots and pick up say another 3rd? Yeah, I'd definitely do that if the board didn't fall the right way for us.

Exactly this.  The 5th year option is huge in the 1st round... no chance we move totally out of the 1st round.  Wouldn't make any sense

No way I’m trading out of the first and only picking up a third. Our first for the trading team’s second and next year first? Sure. A team with two seconds this year? Probably. A second, third and second next year? Most likely. Not just a third this year. Not worth it. As our buddy gettleman would say, that’s giving up a quarter and getting a dime and a nickel in return.

The more I think about this the more I don’t like it now. With 5th year options, I think it’s crucial to get a first round player instead of trading down.

Have we ever had 2 or more first rounders in franchise history? 

Makes you wonder how the Browns keep failing with so much high draft capital year after year

This just not realistic for one the trade value is not even close. EB will probably be a high first early second value after the combine. Trading down a few spots I can see but not out of the first unless someone gives a huge package of picks. Derwin James is huge target for me one of the best safety to come out in a long time when you take everything into consideration, his size and speed and what he brings . on the fence of selling the farm to get him. But if he is out of reach I can see us going with the best TE if the wr is not there value wise. It can go a lot of ways just have to wait and see what we do in free agency.

So much uncertainty, SB HERE WE COME.

I dont see anyway we dont come out this draft without a running back or two

I believe we had 3 first rounders in 1995 after trading out of the first overall pick.

I think we had 2 around 2008 When we got Stewart and traded up to get otah.

I think those are the only times.

I give it a F

[RumHam]

Wow that's terrible. So what's being addressed in FA? I'm assuming dude thinks we're breaking the bank for norwell and star to stay then? WTF would we draft a kicker? Guy's a moron.

[LinvilleGorge]

I wouldn't say that it would be moronic to draft a kicker. We don't have a kicker under contract for next season. Gano is a pending free agent.
