Trading down is risky if they are high on one particular player. If their 3 are Corral, Pickett, and Willis and Pickett and Willis are drafted before 6 they might have to pull the trigger and take Corral at 6.. 

Trading down in the 1st round for additional picks is good in theory in some cases. But, it can be dangerous if you miscalculate would the other teams might do. I'd hate to trade back and miss the targeted player at a position as important as QB.

I agree with you, if Corral's checks all the boxes and the Pickett and Willis are gone, I'd take Corral at 6...if you're dead set on taking a QB in the 2022 draft.

His style of play does not seem like it will translate to the next level or will hold up past 6 games.  Malik has that Steve McNair lower body and does not take the same hits Matt Corral does. 

That's just a matter of being smart. Corral is teachable. I don't believe for a moment that he won't learn how to slide and get down.

In doing mock drafts, trading out of the top 11-12 sucks. So does not having a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Not a fun year to run draft simulations.

I've been doing a lot of simulations involving trading down.  Two options I've done.  

Trade with ravens.  6 for 14, 45 and a late round. Reasons why they may move up.  Offensive tackle, Defensive line, or corner.  

What  we do with picks.  14. Zion ( oline is set) 45.  Top linebacker or defensive end.  

Another fun one is trading 6 for the Lions 32, 34 and third round. 

This is a trade up to take Willis. They take Hutchinson at 2 then trade up for Willis.  

Linebacker, safety and defensive lineman will still be strong at this point.  So a haul of Moyfe and Brisker for instance. 

As far as Corral he is really interesting.  Live arm and competed in SEC.   Pickett and Willis scare me.

Wanted the Giants to trade up for Mahomes hard. Thought he was the best in the class (he was right).

He told the USA today his rankings for the 2018 draft:

 1. Allen
2. Jackson
3. Darnold
4. Rosen
5. Rudolph
6. Mayfield

 

I assume these are the rest after Mahomes?  If so, he nailed the top 3.  probably Mayfield, Darnold, Rudolph and Rosen in that order after.

I wonder what his take is on who's the best in this class.  I hope Rhule listens to him.

Looking like free agent tackle or QB; get the other in the draft. 

Agreed.

I'm hoping that whoever they agree with as a free agent, they can put off finalizing / announcing the deal until after the draft so as not to tip their hand.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
