Newsletter: Panthers Trade Into First Round For A Wide Receiver!

“If you’ve been following along at all, you’ll remember that Legette revealed in an interview that Dave Canales promised the wideout that if he was there at 33, the Panthers would take him. 

Welp, he won’t be there at 33 – because the Panthers traded up to 32 to take him. They gave up pick 141 (and gained pick 200) to move up a spot and more importantly, secure a possible fifth-year option on a player at a premium position. Moving down 59 spots on Day 3, when boards for different teams can be completely different and the players are even more of a roll of the dice, in exchange for a hypothetical additional year of cheap wide receiver production is a nice bit of business for Dan Morgan in his first draft — if Legette plays like a first round receiver, that is.”
