I think the Panthers are feeling the effects of a draft that’s deep and balanced in the middle. They probably believe they can get a comparable player later while picking up extra draft picks in the process.

Yeah I agree.  I'm not sure why this is so hard to grasp...

People are so worried about being “fleeced” that people just need to look at the bigger picture if you make a move and select a great or good player no cares look at the Rams last year. They got mocked on draft night for that trade with us, but it turned out their pick turned into a great player and no one cares anymore.

This draft is full of 2nd rounder worthy players that no one wants to take in the top 20

Never be desperate. When you're desperate you're gonna get fleeced. We shouldn't be desperate to trade down. Be willing to take the best player on your board if there isn't an appealing offer.

Watch something like trading #8 to Sean Payton in Denver for #20 and #85 or something equally awful.

Man that really would be awful.

The Rams have a front office that generally has an eye for talent in the draft. The Panthers can move up and down all they want. The results say they can't draft worth a poo to save their lives if they needed to. And Dan Morgan until proven otherwise is not an upgrade in that area. If the argument is more picks will give them a better chance to not fug things up that at least has some level of logic behind it. Certainly it's better than different variations of comments that are basically akin to telling folks here they think they know more than the experts ie the Panthers brass.

You and I are basically saying the same thing. Draft the right people and no one will care.

      1) This is their last chance to get decent draft compensation. Is that better? A team who trades for a player on an expiring contract (the 5th year option in this hypothetical) is not going to give up much. The trade is essentially for the first right to sign the player to the second contract. 2) Compensatory pick is dependent on net free agency outcome and performance. A potential, late 3rd round pick next year is not as valuable as a 2nd round pick this year. These are forward-thinking roster moves that winning franchises make. I hope that makes sense to you.

      That couldn't be any more incorrect. They can still pick up his 5th year option and then trade him next offseason.  They can still decline the option, let him walk in FA next year, and as long as he has a good season will likely bring them back a 3rd round comp.  And they could do either of the above and then still franchise tag him afterwards and then trade him for what would be a really good return, assuming he continues to progress and stay out of trouble. All of this while he's only costing them $5.4 million against the cap and trading him would only get them $3 million in cap savings. It makes zero sense to trade him this offseason unless they have serious concerns about him or unless they get a godfather offer they can't turn down.
