The real value in trading up to number 1

[Gash]

Ive heard so many criticisms about what it cost the Panthers to swap first round picks with the Bears.

Too many picks in return, 25yo WR in his prime, ect.

No clear number one QB.

Since the trade, 90% of news about the NFL in general and 100% of draft coverage includes the Panthers. 

You cant buy that kind of publicity. 

100% worth it to me.

I mean we did buy the publicity. But it’s short lived. Once the season starts if we are good, we are going to get publicity. If we are bad, it’s going to be like everyone other year for us.

Publicity doesn't mean much if you don't win. The real value is that you now have your pick of the whole litter.

#1 pick and we're getting the runt.

Isn't that how it goes. Why do you think when a dog has puppies and the runt gets all the attention and is the first pick of the litter.

bingo, its also why they are not going to announce the pick until draft day, it would be the most boneheaded move from a PR standpoint ever.  We are the first topic in the NFL right now without a question, so call your pick and give up the publicity to Houston at #2?  Young is the pick, its that simple, we arent going to announce till draft day, its as simple as that.

[Cary Kollins]

The trade looks better and better for the Panthers leading up to the draft. At the time of the trade, there was no clear cut number one pick. If the trade were to happen today with a team desperately trying to land Young, we’d be paying a higher price for sure.

They're actually not allowed to announce the pick - the NFL forbids it.

[Varking]

I’d also argue because its become clear we are picking Young, I think the talk shows of late have been talking about Houston more than us because they are trying to figure out what the next pick of the draft is. When the Panthers get brought up it’s just “Go get your Young #9 jersey” and then moving on.

Yet it's meaningless. I certainly don't follow the team for the attention it does or doesn't get.

I hate you but that is objectively funny.
