Everything will change this coming weekend and again once FA starts, but here is how I see it currently.

Shariff Floyd must be flying up boards as Tannenbaum had him going 3rd to Oakland.

Doubt he is there when we pick. Same with Warmack, Richardson and Fisher, thus..

1st Trade with Pittsburgh who desparately needs to get a rushing OLB and moves just in front of New Orleans, who is swithcing to a 3-4, to get their OLB. Panthers give up their fifth and get Pittsburghs third.

With the 17th pick, the Panthers select OT Lane Johnson. Very quick/fast, can still put on 15 lbs with no decrease in speed.

2nd DT Jesse Williams/Kawann Short I think one of these guys will be available at our pick in the second.

3rd CB Jamar Taylor Boise State. He is not that tall, but I think he will be an outstanding CB in the NFL

4th OG Travis Bond UNC

6th WR/HBack Marcus Davis Va Tech. Big guy/good speed, can work into some TE sets/Hback sets at 6'4" 235 lbs

On to the combine and FA where we will pick up a safety. WR's are also an area not addressed. Guys coming back from IR might pick that up.

no extra picks for the trade lol oh hell naw. i would stay right a 14. got to give me at least a 2nd or 3rd.

johnson is decent but his stock is rising.....luke,erice and lane will be gone.......best chance you got at a decent lt is dallas thomas or terron armstead and you dont know if they can translate to the pros even though they are talented.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
