I would trade down for a first rounder and a second. That's about it.

I mean, it was maddening at the time but it was a truly beautiful gift to all Panther fans in the long term.

Yeah, I mean there isn't much we can do about that trade now. It just is what it is.

Only media types have gotten enamored with Richardson, IMO.

I said something similar to that during the season. That this would be the most interesting offseason in franchise history.

If Twitter is against it, you know we did well.

What kind of jam?

I don't think any legitimate observer really thinks this will be anyone other than Young or Stroud.

I think we had something that most weren't going to offer, which was a player like DJ Moore. It isn't like it would be dramatically cheaper in free agency to get improvements there. And there are no WR's worthy of #1. It's a big need for the Bears.

Yeah, I think his days are very numbered.

Also the fact that we structured the trade so that from 2023-2025 we won't be without a 1st or 2nd rounder in any draft.

I was actually shocked how low the price was.

I think Chark and Meyers are the only two of those WR's I would want to sign to a longer term deal. Not a great FA WR class.

Yeah, you gotta think that we go QB and WR. I am amped. We finally did something smart.

This will just be another thing to laugh at in a few years when height and weight are brought up. Same shade that keeps getting thrown at these smaller QB's that are currently getting massive contracts in the NFL. The thought process just isn't sound.

I think if you have to use height against a QB, you can't find any other flaws with him. Height is one of the least relevant factors.

Well the question really is if not now then when? I don't really anticipate us ever being much of a player in the free agency market after the Watson deal. So do you just hope that you tank in the future? Because the price to trade up for a "Lawrence-like prospect" is probably going to be far higher than normal. Do you trade 4 first round picks and change? More? I think at the end of the day it's time to do something. We need to get this 5+ year issue resolved eventually.

Levis is gonna be a fixer-upper. So you have to be convinced you are handy enough to be able to turn him into a finished product. Richardson is just raw material. His fundamentals are very questionable and he is a straight up project. If we are gonna aim for a QB in the draft, why not just go after Young and Stroud who are much closer to being finished products?

Jimmy G is a oft injured game manager. That isn't worth much money, IMO.

This is a great class to get a good TE in the 2nd round. There may even be quality players still left in the 3rd.

I mean.....he better be cheap. Anything over $25 mil would be a joke.

Hard to say, TBH. I think it will start to become a little clearer closer to the draft as lips loosen up.
