Faithful members of the Cat Scratch Reader community know around this time of year I start slipping into my alter ego as the benevolent dictator of a mythical football island paradise called Trade Down Island. CSR’s Jaxon recently wrote a piece about the trade down mindset of both new general manager Scott Fitterer and coach Matt Rhule, which is music to my ears. Because I’m a football nerd I’ve spent the last several days on a couple of different online draft simulators playing the role of Panthers general manager to see what I could get by trading back from the No.
