I suspect the Panthers are desperately trying to trade up right now

[Captain Morgan]

Tackles are hard to find.  Most years, there's no good ones left after the first round.  This year not only are there 2 or 3 starting caliber RTs, Little is a LT.  Don't miss this opportunity.  Trade up, even to 33, and get one while we can.

Next year's tackles suck.  The time is now.  Don't miss this opportunity.

[Ricky Spanish]

I'm not against getting a Tackle. Would hope we wouldn't give up a king's ransom to get one though. 

[KaseKlosed]

Panthers def trying to trade up for a tackle today. Cody Ford, Taylor both in play. 

[JccOldTime23]

Better not trade next year's 1st Rd pick. He used to love doing that. Did it for Otah, did it for Brown, tried to do it for Clausen...

[TheSpecialJuan]

We believe Moton will be our starting LT, no need to trade up.

Really? Who told you that? Someone within the organization?

Unless Williams gets hurt again. But no worries, we can start Dillon Gordan at LT if that happens, right?

I'd have taken two solid linemen from this draft and wouldn't mind a trade up for a tackle, hopefully keep one of our thirds and grab a safety with that. Then whatever we have left grab the best defensive players available and maybe a late round rb. 

Pretty much agree here...just hoping for starter talent in a S pick...

Yep. A lot easier to find a DE than a starting caliber LT

but Rivera ....you know Ron is going to Ron.

 He is the DC now too so I’m sure that’s part of it and if Newton gets his ass beat to death again this year, oh well

im sorry   I’ve just watch the Rivera era pour draft pick after draft pick into that defense while the QB is relied on to just get hit and keep going

2 guys with round 1 grades at out biggest glaring holes is a homerun 

 

 

Still wish we could hold off and hope he continues to fall to 47 (remember most were saying he was behind Taylor and Ford on peoples big boards)

 

Then if we did that try to tradd back in the 2nd for a Safety. Adderley, Chauncey Gardner Johnson, and Thornhill.  There are some Stud safeties still falling as well.

I think we can take Taylor, Ford, or Risner and then trade back for adderley or thornhill.  That would be best case scenario. We’d walk away with 3 starters and the draft would be a success even if we missed on every other pick.

A bit  uneasy with the dominoes that could fall ...feel like we need one more...

Ad infinitum

We have 3 picks in the 3rd. Give up one and maybe next years 2nd for a quality OT like cody ford and get a safety. I think we are good enough at CB with bradberry and jackson. May need depth there though.

[manu4t]

Eric McKoy may also be in play they scouted him pretty well. He has versatility on the line.
