Carolina Panthers to be 'aggressive' in pursuit of potential Deshaun Watson trade

I'm not on board.  Three first round picks and a second is highway robbery.  That is four potential pro bowl players for one elite QB.  The rebuild has only begun and everyone is jumping the gun.  

Let’s be real. It’s highly unlikely those would be 3 pro bowl players.

Picks have so much perceived value because they give teams hope. 
 

Besides, Fits comes from Seattle who have been terrible in the first round in recent years.

There will be a QB talent hole in the division soon. Brees is done. Brady maybe 1-2 more years. Ryan meh. If we get a Watson we can possibly own this division for a decade. 

Falcons are in position to pick one of the better quarterbacks available in this draft if they want to.

Here is a perspective: 
Let's say you make a deal for Watson that includes a player.  You can then offer them the following deal (hypothetically):
Shaq Thompson, 2021 2nd rounder, 2022 1st rounder, 2023 first rounder. 

That sounds like a lot.  I can hear you all saying, "Hell no."

Now, what we did was save our #8 pick this year and cut a big contract (needed to sign Watson).

We would then trade out of #8 for a first rounder in 2022 and a second rounder in 2021.  So by trading out, we recoup the 2022 first rounder and the 2021 second rounder.

So now what have we actually lost to obtain Watson?
1. Shaq and his big contract.

2. A 2023 first rounder.

 

Now is that such a bad deal, if we can do it?  If Lance is there, I am certain a team would give us a first next year and a second rounder (or late first rounder) this year.

Hypothetical, but the point is, a trade before the draft gives you options to recoup losses by trading back during the draft.

Lol this forum will think they won the super bowl going 4-12 with Watson as the Texans did and no means to build anything around 

then we can restart all the no weapons, no oline, no coaching, shitty ownership, no support, bias refs, everyone is racist threads from before 

awesome

Who would say no to that deal? I mean, other than the Texans.

Watson is a much better QB than Cam was...

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
