I remember the beginning of the season people were screaming for DT trades, we'll we did it and now everyone is acting like we are throwing away next years draft. We are fine, the guys upstairs know what they are doing more than we do.

On a side note, drafting a player isn't any kind of guarantee that you'll get a good one.

At least with a trade, you can get someone that has some experience at the pro level and some realtime game tape that can show potential to good evaluators. And let's face it, our team has better luck with picking up vets than drafting new talent.

Tank and Leonard may do more to shore up the DT position than drafting could, both have some upside to them. And DT is very much a veteran-intensive position where a rookie might be quickly intimidated.

That being said, there is only so much future that one can trade away without over-leveraging yourself completely.

Point is, picking up Leonard and Tyler is "not trading away your future". They are relatively young. They are future.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
