Comp picks don't come higher than 3rd round though, correct? So even if they were to get a pick, a second rounder is still preferable to a possible third, and that's IF they don't offset it with another player's signing, right?

Correct. It’s a 2020 end of the 2nd round pick for, at best, a 2022 end of the 3rd pick and that’s only if he gets a huge contract at age 32. Likely it’s going to be a 4th or 5th. It’s also more than a rental because he is under contract next year.

It’s still a lot to give up for a guy the Falcons had to cut after the year due to their cap.

Not sure what this comparison is implying. Sanu is about as good of a guy as there is. He is a Torrey Smith.

He was saying that they do bring in WR's and if they can't pick up the offense the way that Brady likes quickly, they move on.

It was Demaryius Thomas that I think Scot was trying to think of.

The chess comment implied it was AB and they moved on from DT because they got AB. Don’t think that necessarily had anything to do with picking up the offense.

The Falcons are having the pre-firing fire sale already. I think this means they are out of the running for this, the next and probably the following seasons. They'll be imploding their team at the same time Miami, Denver and the Chargers will be and that's going to make it slow and desperate. Add in that the Cardinals, Bucs and Bengals got a full season's head start and it makes things even crazier.

Looks like it will be just us and the Saints for a while here in the South.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking. They traded a second for Kony Ealy too, and look how that turned out. Patriots have mind control over people. Yes, they're the only dynasty out there, but part of that is because they've already won in people's minds before they even make a move.

This is why the Patriots win Super Bowl after Super Bowl they are not complacent, they spot a weakness and immediately try to plug that hole. 

You have some guys on this message board talking about why do the Panthers need a veteran receiver? They need one in case Moore are Samuel have to miss time our only option then is Jarius Wright and guys brought on for special teams. 

 

 

It also helps that they have played in the worst division for decades... guaranteed 5-6 wins a year

Well it was Kony and an early 3rd for a late 2nd. I think we moved up like 8 or 9 spots with that trade and it definitely worked out great for us(Moton was the pick) and bad for them but it wasn’t as bad as giving up a 2nd for Kony.

BB the GM has made plenty of pretty bad moves in the last several years. His drafts have been objectively terrible recently. BB the coach has covered up a lot of those failures.

yep, he was a cap casualty after this year anyway, great value to the Falcons.  Fans hate it, but it is what it is.

And one little last dying dig at the Saints.

How is that a dig at us? In 7 career games against us, he’s averaged 4 catches for 44 yards. LOL.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.

      Yeah okay fair enough.  Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno.    I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.
