But, but, don't trade for Joe Thomas. He wouldn't of helped us.

Who from this years top 3 Panther draft picks would you trade for a Joe Thomas who will be 33 this football season?

This. I would've loved to have picked up Thomas but given his age and what it would've taken to get him, not sure it'd be worth it. We went with a younger OT instead who can hopefully help us out for more than just a season or two. Cleveland wasn't going to just give him away, especially since they're planning on trying to break in a 2nd round rookie QB.

We'll never know what could have been worked out. His age would have likely been a main point in his valuation, but the possibility and yesterday's ponderings are hardly worth discussing now in my opinion. Our eggs are in the Kalil basket now and/or with some luck, Moton's. I'm at peace with that for now. If Thomas was ever even seriously in discussion, I'm at peace with passing on him, irrespective of Kalil and our draft.

Why not trade for Julio Jones too? Or we could've traded for Calvin Johnson in 2015. Why stop there when we can trade for JJ Watt? And Richard Sherman too. Hell, why not Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor to round out the big 3 back there?

    • Yep - honestly though, I thought his coverage was as good as you could possibly do on a man coverage crossing route with Dak having all day to throw. Dak made a perfect throw and if it wasn't in front of Pickens, it could have easily been picked off. Seemed like we ran more man than I have seen our defense run so far this year. Defense also did a great job of playing their gap/zone responsibilities (even if Dak did pick apart our zone a good chunk of the game) - that screen play on the last drive could easily have gone for a touchdown if Moehrig didn't play his zone and make a great tackle. Biggest complaint about Evero was not blitzing a few more times (especially when Dallas was in the red zone). The few times we did it, Dak didn't look comfortable.
    • There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon. 
    • People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
