Trade Down Island: The glory and the gaffes of the Panthers draft day trades

Related Topics: Chris Trapasso, CSPO

As the Benevolent Dictator of Trade Down Island, the time has come for me to pass judgment on rookie GM Dan Morgan’s performance with draft day trades. Morgan and the Carolina Panthers brain trust made four trades during the draft - twice trading down and twice trading up - incurring both my glorious praise and my even more glorious wrath.

The economy of Trade Down Island runs on four commodities: coconuts, chickens, cows, and accumulating draft capital by smartly trading down. In my recap below I will either reward Dan Morgan by bestowing or punish him by confiscating coconuts (little value), chickens (good value), or cows (major value) for each of the Panthers draft day trades.
