CBS’s Cody Benjamin has the Panthers moving back from No. 16 to No. 20 and gaining an extra third round pick Ian Thomas Jersey 2019 , and I love it!"Here at Cat Scratch Reader, Jaxon recently asked if the Panthers should trade up in the first round from their No. 16 spot. Now it’s time to ask the opposite question and debate if Carolina should trade down in the first round. Thanks to a CBS mock draft this week, we can analyze a specific trade down scenario instead of just having a theoretical debate. Here is what CBS’s Cody Benjamin put on the table: So in exchange for moving down four spots in the first round, the Panthers would gain an additional third round pick, No. 83. As a frame of reference, that’s the 19th selection in the third round. So who’s available at No. 20? In the CBS mock draft the Panthers were able to land Clemson edge rusher Clelin Ferrell. Whether Ferrell would still be available at No. 20 is up for debate (he currently ranges from the No. 13 overall pick to No. 32 at CBS) Womens Brian Burns Jersey , but let’s set that topic aside for now. Let’s just assume Carolina was able to move down to No. 20 while still being able to draft the Clemson sack machine. So who’s available at No. 83?Let’s now take a look back and see what types of players Carolina has been able to land somewhere near No. 83 (plus or minus 10 spots) over the years:Panthers picks near No. 83 overallYearPlayerPosPickNotesYearPlayerPosPickNotesOverall, Carolina’s selections near the No. 83 overall pick offers a mixed bag of success and failure going back to 2006. Here is my unscientific summary of Carolina’s 11 picks:Pro Bowlers (1) - Trai TurnerQuality starters (2) - Charles Johnson, James AndersonStarters (2) - Daryl Worley, Brandon LaFell Depth (1) - Dan Connor (probable starter if not injured though)Busts (4) - Daeshon Hall, Armanti Edwards, Corvey Irvin Greg Little Jersey , Rashad ButlerToo soon - Rashaan GauldenBy my count, the Panthers have landed five starters versus four busts. Dan Connor, who I classified as “depth” because of how his career played out, was still worth a third round pick. Time will tell what the Panthers have in Rashaan Gaulden.So should the Panthers trade down to No. 20 if it means landing Clelin Ferrell while giving the team another chance to land the next Trai Turner, Charles Johnson, or James Anderson? The answer to me is simple - HECK YES! (But in full transparency https://www.pantherslockerroom.com/authentic-will-grier-jersey , I’m also the benevolent dictator of Trade Down Island so these types of trades make me giddy.) If you were general manager of the Carolina Panthers, would you stay put at No. 16, or would you pull the trigger on a trade down scenario for Clelin Ferrell at No. 20 while also picking up with No. 83 overall pick?

The terms of the deal have not been disclosed.The Panthers added Catanzaro to the roster in December as a ‘break glass in case of emergency’ option after Graham Gano suffered a knee injury during practice. Catanzaro, or ‘Cat-Man’ as he is apparently called (Why did I not know this?!) ended up taking Gano’s roster spot for the final four games of the season and did an admirable job in his stead, going 5-for-5 in field goal attempts and 7-for-8 in extra point tries. Gano is expected to be back to 100% health heading into the 2019 season so there was no need for the Panthers to keep Cat-Man around Womens Christian Miller Jersey , and it makes sense for the Jets to bring him back after they lost Jason Myers in free agency (he signed a four-year deal with the Seahawks).How broken up are you about this Panthers fans?
