  1. A McCaffrey PlayPanthers get No. 14, No. 43, and No. 230 from the Philadelphia Eagles for No. 8, No. 98, and No. 115

More from Carolina Panthers

This works on the assumption that the Eagles really like McCaffrey since he ends up in their hands in a lot of mock drafts at fourteen. The only real threats to this are the Panthers at eight or the Saints at eleven. You notice how the Panthers seem to be emitting a large amount of McCaffrey hype (David Newton of ESPN, cough)? That could just be bait to get more picks out the Eagles. In this deal the Panthers would grab another second round pick at the expense of some later round considerations.

As far as the pick is concerned, the Panthers would be looking at similar guys as they were at the twelve spot such as Charlton, Ramczyk, and now Dalvin Cook might be a real option for the team. O.J. Howard is likely gone but Miami tight end David Njoku might be a real thing.
