Well, we are at 16. There is always the option to trade down 8-10 spots and take him in the late first if some of our more desirable options are off the table.

IDK. I think he was looked at as the top center in the draft by a few sources. There is still a little bit of a ceiling on where he gets drafted because he is largely just a center and not as suited to sliding to guard in every offense. 

I personally think he is a 10-15 year NFL starter, so I would take him in a heartbeat in Carolina.

He was looked at as the top Center.  But many thought he'd be a 2nd round guy.  Does t look like it anymore

Also note that bradbury is one prospect that we've scouted and interviewed in both senior bowl and combine.

It is still early. Not every team is going to be looking for a starting center, so that narrows the pool. Also, we have three full days of combine remaining, so guys in other positions may end up jumping him on various teams draft boards. I do suspect he comes off the board before our 2nd round pick though

There was a guy on an NC State message board "claiming" that he was neighbors with someone that was on the Panthers offensive staff and that the offensive staff was really high on him.

Well, our long-time All-Pro center just retired and Bradbury is a top C prospect so I'd say it has a good chance of being true. Maybe not his story, but the basis of it. Seems highly likely that we'll have a lot of interest in him.

Look at Marty working that phone. Probably already trying to trade next year's 1st.

Im sure they are but 16 is going to be to rich to be picking  him there.

 

The trade down option is always there, but that normally is involving someone junoing uo for a QB.  The top 2-3 QBs will be gone by 16 so that wont be a option (wouldve been a option at 9 if we lost the Saints game)

 

Does Hurney trade back up into the 1st? That will require a future 1st, and thats not something you want to do. ESPECIALLY  with a QB we dont know his future (we could be drafting a QB next year high for sure)

Hurney also has said he learned from his mistakes.  And some of his biggest mistakes was giving up future high picks, 1st for Otah, 1st for Everett Brown, the 33rd pick for Armanti Edwards

^Sweat up to 260, thats HUGE

We do have an extra 3rd. We could trade up into the bottom of the first or top of the second for him. Someone might bite on a 2nd and 3rd. Now the question is, do you make that move?

We have a lot of holes to fill but this could be your 10-15 year starter. That is an awfully tough call.
