We bring you part two of this week’s fan mailbag!
Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! We got a lot of questions about specific prospects and positions this time around, but I encourage you to go check out the thread itself for some great dialogue about prospects, and some info throughout the week on recent visits.
Let’s dive in!
panthers2112: Given your comments last week about trading up in the top five. I’m looking for recommendations on a table to flip in the event this happens. I’d like one that is well-balanced, and light enough to get some good rotational spin along it’s horizontal axis.
The only tables that should be getting flipped are those of other NFC South front offices WHEN the Panthers trade UP into the top five and get themselves a surefire cornerstone piece, and flip the script going forward for the division crown. Revel in it, my friends!
right_turn_clyde: Are there any players you think could be available in the early 2nd Rd. that would justify a trade-up to get them? If so, what do you think we’ll have to give up to make that move?
I think many of the edge rushers around that tier would be worth a trade up. Princely Umanmielen, Bradyn Swinson, etc. That’s the kind of position where the Panthers may not want to sit back and wait to see who falls. In that instance, they’ll probably need to get rid of a 3rd or 4th round pick to justify it, since the position is a premium. Or, trade future picks as always.
KeepPounding88: Everyone keeps talking about who our first pick is going to be, but who do you think the last pick of our draft will end up being?
Its gotta be a kicker, right? Depends to me on if the Panthers stay with their current batch of picks or if they end up using the late picks as part of trade packages.
Randallpink11: Here is a scenario...
Step 1: Take a swim to Trade Down Island. Jerry Jones has been drinking and he has fallen in love with Tyler Warren’s hairdo, so we accept a trade with the Cowboys to swap 1st rounders and get pick 44.
Step 2: Draft Malaki Starks with pick 12
Step 3. Draft Mason Taylor with pick 44
The rest has not come to me yet, but we have time. What do you think?
They aren’t taking Malaki Starks, I have accepted that and so should everyone else. Trading up for Tyler Warren would be an interesting choice, but you’ve identified a player that could be worth it to the right team. Adding more weapons for Dak Prescott does make sense. I like the trade, even if I do think its a little steep for The Cowboys.
Vashti2112: What color suit do you think pick no. 8 (whomever that is) will wear when they hug Goodell?
A) Salmon
B) Grey-silver
C) Pastel Blue...
