unnamed team is reportedly attempting to trade up to the Raiders' No. 8

[scpanther22]

well who would the panthers choose if they did trade up?

i'd say they'd be looking at the following:

mccoy DT

suh DT

derrick morgan DE

dan williams NT

jason piere-paul DE

dez bryant WR

Sean Witherspoon LB

I would say Dez bryant if it was us.

You can't trade up in the first round unless you have a first round pick.

Huh? How do you figure that?

If its us then I wonder who we'd be targeting that high? The DTs are going to be gone and if we moved up that far to get one of those DEs it would be a big mistake IMO. I just don't see the rationale for the Panthers making that trade. There really isn't a player that I would want to go after right there unless they think Dez Bryant is a no-brainer "Randy Moss-esque" WR....which IDT he is.

agreed. this may be a fairly deep wr draft, but the clear cut best (bryant) is no calvin johnson/ randy moss type of receiver.

That's hot

Dez Bryant. No CJ or Randy? That may be. But some experts said he reminds them most of Jerry Rice so I'll take that any day. This would certainly suit Smitty's needs, and most likely give us a #1 a few years down to road. He's the only WR in the draft I can see doing this and having an immediate impact.

clearly the panthers are trying to trade ahead of Jax so they can draft The Golden Calf of Bristol.

Hmmm, sounds suspicious... we have a 2nd round pick and we like trading future first round picks when we don't have one.

Speaking hypothetically, who would you take with the 8th overall pick? Using the WalterFootball.com 2010 mock draft as a template, no WR's would have been taken by the time we came up. QB's Bradford and Clausen would be gone as well as DT's McCoy and Suh. The rest of the guys already taken would be OT's and a safety.

Golden Tate. Has none of the red flags of Dez Bryant.

or Derrick Morgan.

It would have to be Dez Bryant IMO...

Think of last year when Crabtree was set to go as high as 7 before the DHB thing..and people say Bryant is was ahead of Crabtree coming out of college.

Dez Bryant just ran a 4.52. He'll make it past the Raiders easy.

No one is saying the Raiders will take Bryant. Obviously they won't but Jacksonville, Denver and Seattle all could take him.

I think you missed the joke.

I think you missed the joke.

I get the joke, I'm just saying why it makes sense to move up to 8 if you want Bryant.
