Bill Barnwell speculation: Panthers trade up with Jaguars

16. Carolina Panthers

Panthers get: 1-7, 6-178
Jaguars get: 1-16, 2-47, 3-100

The Panthers have enough starting-caliber talent across their roster to spend the first round of this draft focusing on their future. They probably want to come away with a defensive end to add to their rotation to play behind Mario Addison and Bruce Irvin. General manager Marty Hurney could try to find a downfield threat to replace Torrey Smith and supplement the oft-injured Curtis Samuel behind DJ Moore, although I doubt he'll use his first-round pick on a wide receiver in consecutive seasons.

One other path to take would be to move up and draft tight end T.J. Hockensonas a replacement for 34-year-old Greg Olsen, who has missed 16 games over the past two seasons and might be close to joining a television network. Ian Thomasflashed promise in December while subbing for an injured Olsen, but there's nothing stopping the Panthers from using a heavy dose of two-tight-end sets. Carolina can use its second-round pick and the compensatory selection it nabbed for losing Andrew Norwell to move up for the Iowa tight end.

I am not a fan of trading up in the first and feel A it usually results in a bad outcome. 

 

1. Always feel like you are giving more than you get. 

2. Over hype whoever you draft

3. Other needs not addressed.  

4. Who in this draft do you trade up for?  I don’t feel like there is anyone I particularly like giving up a lot for?

if somebody falls in the second I’m all for packaging a third to grab a steal who fell out of the first but not felling good about swapping a first and mortgaging the draft.
