Continuity is key. If Moton is worth fetching a 2nd in a trade (as a rental) then he's destroying the world and a 2nd wouldn't be worth it. 
 

The key is protecting your franchise QB, not trading those proven pieces away for lotto tickets.

Not overpaying for RBs, guards, safties, WRs, I get. But elite tackles and edge rushers are not that easy to find. Of all people, Panthers fans should know this. Hell no to trading Moton.

When you take Moton off the OL, it starts to look worrisome IMHO.

Personally, I think we need to keep drafting IOL in the day 2 area (where the elite C/G prospects are still available) and always use day 3 picks if guys like D. Williams, Norwell, Trey Smith and Mays are available. Don’t just reach on the guys Marty loves because later round OL who surprise seem more common than other positions. Those OL often aren’t straight projects as well.

The balancing act, imo, will be with Icky's second contract. They'll likely have to go with a draft pick to replace T-Mo in order to keep the offense affordable.
