But the huddle guaranteed me it was Walker.

Even beyond this place, the entire world was convinced it was Walker.

The day of the draft I was listening to a radio show and they were talking about how unpredictable this draft was going to be, that nobody really knew what was going to happen and that anyone betting on the draft was dumb and throwing their money away.

At the end of the segment the guy said something like, "well, everything we just talked about is true, but if anyone wants some free money tonight, there is one guaranteed surefire pick, go put your bets in right now, Jalon Walker is 100% going 8th to the Panthers."

Yep… if we took those offers, we’d basically be looking at Nolen or one of the outlier or low production guys (Walker, Mykel, Stewart) paired with maybe Higgins or Noel at WR. 

This McMillan+Scourton+Princely combination just seems way more sound, has far less/no flags and way greater potential.  Honestly, stepping back and looking at it, it really is one of the stronger scenarios we could’ve asked for.  WR1 and 2 potential starting OLBs.

The Denver trade we made was a very cool package that gave us a lot of flexibility. One of the more interesting mid-draft trades we’ve made and I think it really helped us out.

Have the Panthers ever been involved in a draft trade like that before? Times a changing.

If we accepted a trade, some people would be saying we got fleeced and should have taken TMac instead.

Not if we got a future first.
