Would you trade up for Star Lotulelei?

[Happy Panther]

Yes.

Just kidding...no. The 3 picks ahead of us don't need a DT so if he gets by the Jets we are probably good. Titans could snap him up but they have lots of needs. I fit were a matter of trading up 2 spots we might do it but if we have to trade up to 8 its useless.

The middle of the first is chock full of talent and there is nobody we need to reach for realistically.

[SmashNDash]

We just can't afford to. If all we needed was a DT, then sure, go for it. But we have so many needs, already only have 5 picks, we need to stay put or trade down for more. Can't take a risk on a hit or miss position that takes a long time to develop like DT.

[JawnyBlaze]

Absolutely yes as long as it doesn't involve this year's 2nd or next year's 1st or 2nd (or if it does involve next year's 2nd get something in return like a 5th this year)

[micnificent28]

Maybe i'm in the minority. I absolutely think we shouldn't trade any of this seasons picks. But i'm all for dealing a two next year. Were talking about an elite talent who prob would have been the number one pick if not for the heart scare. Elite talents don't grow on trees. I see him in the mold of Ngata of the ravens.

[Cary Kollins]

No. Plenty of quality options at 14.

[JawnyBlaze]

Re: micnificent. Agreed. Star is the kind of player that can make a good defense great for a long time.

[BBQ&Beer]

No.

& also pie for Aggielean's SIG.

Aggie Pride!

It's hard to say. If we don't, we could be aiding our divisional rival in amping their defense. Sure, he could bust but if Star is legit, then our OL has no shot in defending Newton this upcoming season. Our OL did a horrid job against them for some reason.

Great idea, let's improve the offensive line by drafting a defensive lineman and giving up picks in the process. It's genius.

[Doyle]

I hope the Panthers never trade up again in the first.

[SOJA]

not a chance, I don't know if I would even take him if he falls to 14......I'm sorry but big men with heart conditions is not something I'm wagering a first rounder on---a later rounder yes.

He checked out fine.

[SOJA]

He checked out fine.

In all probability he is, but there is/was obviously some concern at some point which is an immediate turn off for me. First round picks have to be hits.

[L-TownCat]

No to any and all DT's in the first round.

[KJ89]

No.
