There is a strange assumption out there that no teams will want to trade up to the #1 slot. I think that is simply incorrect. There are plenty of teams that will want to trade up to #1, the only question is "at what cost?". Teams no longer have to worry about the huge cost of the first pick with the new rookie pay structure going into place.

I am of the opinion that we should target a team in the mid first round to trade up to the #1 pick but throw in not an additional first rounder from next year, but a second and third rounder from this year. That would give us 4 early round draft picks this season, something we desperately need, and still give us a J-Stew/Beason type selection.

Take San Diego for instance. They have the 18th pick. They also have 2 second round selections. It would be a win/win all around for them to move up to #1 and give up that extra second rounder and a third rounder.

Think about it, 4 picks in the top 3 rounds. That would go a long way in raising the talent level of this team.

If there is a rookie cap I think you keep the pick and get a sure impact player. There are still a number of quarterbacks worthy of a number 1 pick.

How well have we done in the second round lately?? The way we are going just give us 3 or 4 more sixth rounders, then we might have something.

Again Thank you!!! Nice to see some reasonable, smart, non hysterical postings.

Trading down is the best option right now and YES there will be trade offers. Bend someone over and make them pay for it but TRADE DOWN!

Who is at #1 that a team would be willing to trade up to get? I see no real difference in picks 1 through 12 in this draft.

With the rookies scale cap there will be plenty of teams wanting the pick. If there wasnt a rookie scale I could see your point. There will be a rookie scale count on it.

i agree, we just have to do our homework on guys like newton & gabbert. the combine & workouts will determine alot IMO but don't think you trade past the top 10

      Tom Pelissero: Ejiro Evero name to watch when coaching cycle commences

      By SteveSmithTD89 · Posted

      Respectfully, I completely disagree. Last year we were:  32nd in Sacks. 32nd in Turnovers.  32nd in Rushing TDs allowed  29th in Scoring.  We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games.  Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line.  This year, our Defense ranks:  31st in Sacks. Tied for 19th in Turnovers  31st in Rushing TDs allowed 32nd in Scoring  His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL.  Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him.  If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Ah, the ol Cam Newton hating.  I will give you credit, the week of pretending to be a Daniel Jones super fan is a very clever way to disguise your hatred of Cam.
