Just like it took trading away a future first for the Panthers to avoid the ignominy of selecting first overall in spite of the league’s worst record in 2023, the Carolina Panthers were able to execute a trade for the 32nd overall pick last night in spite of their not having won the Super Bowl. They made that trade with the Buffalo Bills, who themselves were notable for not having won the Super Bowl last year. Isn’t the draft exciting?
All jokes and self-loathing aside, moving up just one spot in the draft has been a controversial move amongst some fans.
