Before we make a decision on who "won" this trade, we'd better wait for the draft. Carolina has let it be known that they are open to here from other teams about a possible trade down. Their GM feels that with the #1 pick, THEY control the draft.
It all depends on how the top 4 QB's go in this draft. Will some team become enamored with Richardson's, while other teams become wary of Young's stature. There IS no sure top guy in this draft. So right now the top 2 picks are very likely to be QB's if the order stays the same. '
So if some team in the top 6 comes to the Panther and offers even a better package to move up, we will all have to rethink our opinions today.
The Panther are just giving uo a low 2nd round pick and a good WR THIS year to get to the top. But the story hasn't been fully told. We shall see.
