If they don't have Ekblad as the BPA and have say Bennett or Reinhart as #1 on their board (possibility) why would they be better off trading down and not getting either? Too many fans get caught up in this whole trading down thing from 1st overall as it rarely ever happens and is more something the media has generated to generate web traffic. 1st overall is where you want to be when you are drafting and seeing how the Panthers need/want immediate help it doesn't make sense to drop out of the top 3/4 guys that will be able to come in and play in a year or two just to pick up an asset.
