You know, that possibility completely escaped by me. Sure, that could happen as well. Geez... more to consider. !!
One thought did just bust through the barrier. My initial impression without any real thought... Wouldn't any real trade value have already been used up early in the contract year.?? I mean with all of the trading around and adding free agents and dropping/cutting to get under the cap at the start of the new contract year, it would seem that most of the real trade fodder would have been used or picked over... Of course, I realize that isn't true, completely. A few trades do happen late and the occasional trade during the draft does happen as well. So, you definitely have a valid point. And I didn't even think about it. SMDH
lol.
At any rate...Dan can sit back and letting the bidding begin after Round 1. That being said...if there is a player at 33 that he and Dave love...got to take him.
Yesterday Joe Person threw this one out:
Let’s start with the trade: Panthers send picks 33 and 142 to the New England Patriots for picks 34 and 103, plus a seventh-round selection in 2025.
The Patriots wanted to make sure no one jumped in front of them for their guy (Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Pro Football Network draft simulator) and were willing to surrender a fourth-round pick for a fifth to do so. The trade gave the Panthers five picks in the first 103 selections in what appears to be a savvy move, provided they’re sure New England isn’t taking their guy.
