Trading down. Smart or dumb?

I was thinking about it, and the holes we have at LT lack of quality starters in on the line.  Missing another receiver.  Would trading down and grabbing another 3rd or another late second be smart or dumb in our situation?  

 

In before "I wish the offseason would end."  Or "Man, this thread sucks."  Or "thread sucks."

Smart if it happens. On the flip side, with everyone wanting to trade down it may not take much to trade up and grab Taylor Lewan.

Lets say that someone in the 10-15 range would swap 1st Rd picks with us for our 3rd? Do we pull that trigger? We would be getting perhaps the most Athletic LT of the draft. Doubt that offer would be there but as a fan, would you approve or not?

So his primarily purpose is to appease others?

It happens pretty often on this board. Like, instead of writing something more captivating, people will just leave a huge wall of text that nobody's going to read and then append it with a "TL:DR" one sentence description that covers everything they said in 1200 words.

I know trading down is this new concept that's never been discussed ad nauseum before that it needs its own thread but somehow I get the sense that it would've been good enough to just pick any one out of 100 already existing threads going over the same poo to post this in and it would've been fine.

I don't think so, while Lewan is certainly worth the move, do we want to give up a third in such a talented and deep draft? I feel like you're likely passing up on a starter.

That's a lot of text to just say "this is a redundant thread"

Yes, because I would like to hear other Panthers fans opinions on this subject that aren't dick faces.

K cool I was wondering why you had no confidence in this thread as if it would go over like a fart in sunday mass but with put downs like that I guess if I were you I wouldn't have confidence in any idea I came up with.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

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

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
