Man, really feeling like trading back would be amazing. A lot of depth in our areas of need.

Depends on the deal. There is a very small elite group so if one falls to you, grab them without hesitating. The 2nd tier group is quite big, however. Stretches from early 1st to almost the 3rd round. If you can snag multiple in that range, that's preferable to reaching at 8.

It’s this time of year where the debate about winning those meaningless late season games is a real conversation. I’m glad they started to figure out how to close out a game but it also comes at the price of an elite player. Hopefully one of elite defensive players drops and Morgan isn’t too dense to pick one of them

There's not a player in this draft worth tanking for. I don't see a big difference between Carolina picking in the top 5 or at 8 based on this draft class.

We've got 10 draft picks.  Our biggest need is on the defensive side of the ball. There's no reason why the Panthers wouldn't be significantly better by simply picking the best defensive player on the board (at any position) when we're on the clock. If we went all defense in the first 3 rounds we should come away with 3 starters. We should be able to find a possible starter...or a at least a significant contributor...in rounds 4-7.

Instead we will end up with one fringe starter and some guys that need to be developed with high RAS scores. Probably another RB as well.

I don’t think Graham is this insane pie in the sky tier so many make him out to be. 
 

He’s a primarily run defense oriented inside guy and those guys don’t tend to go top 5, even after we spend all offseason hearing how can’t miss they are.

The Panthers need run stoppers in the worst way, just like pass rushers, so if he's there they might want to sprint up to the podium to make the pick.
