By all accounts the Panthers were half way decent last year, beat us twice, picked up a #1 overall QB, and had a ton of cap space to build around him, with a bright future. But sometimes a team swings and misses, and their offense is incredibly unimposing. The Panthers are a good example of why I don't believe in moving multiple #1 picks to trade up for such a high QB pick. The #1 overall guys just aren't necessarily much better than who you get at 7 or 15, and if you have to trade up it puts extra pressure on the young QB and gives less resources to allow them to live up to the hype. I can see moving up a few spots but the second you start dealing future #1s, well if its too much pressure for an Ingram or Penning or Davenport, its definitely too much pressure for a QB who is going to have to make it happen without an oline or receivers.
