I'd probably pony up the 3 1st round picks but probably not the 2 seconds, as well. Let's not forget that is also a team lacking pretty heavily in talent. 

If I were to pick a team that would have the LEAST issue giving up those, it's probably Miami. They already are a good team so winning now might suit their purposes a lot more. For the Jets and us, we still have a lot of building to accomplish. Miami just needs some fine tuning. 

Yea, I’ve got no problem giving up the 3 firsts. That ain’t no thing. Honestly, I could be talked into giving up a 4th. I want this years 2nd, though. I would like to keep the 2nds for the next 3 years. I feel this regime will be much better in the later rounds.

I'd give up anything BUT Burns 

Until the 3-3-5, I was not under the impression that Burns was a good fit.  Now? He fits--he is not an ideal replacement for Watt. 

So I would trade away Jackson, Thompson, and even CMC as part of a package.  Jackson and Thompson and 2 firsts is my preference. 

We have to get rid of 1 big contract to take on Watson, unless TB is part of the deal-and he has to be.

Texans likely take TB, they would have no QB and he would make a good bridge

You said it always got sorted in a year or less...another false statement.

Both are (were) high profile NFL players -- apples-to-apples.

Comparing the NBA to the NFL not so much...

He sat out one season. What are you talking about? If you think this is an apples to apples comparison, you are the only one.

By NFL QB standards it is...

Matt Stafford has already banked $226,478,969 and in the next 2 years will bank another $43,000,000 which is more than Deshaun has made in his entire career.

Oh, now we're talking about NFL standards and not in reference to most people on the earth? OK...

 

Bringing up Stafford's earnings in comparison to Watson's bespeaks of disingenuousness. Watson hasn't even had the opportunity to earn big money yet because he's essentially been on his rookie contract. Moreover, Stafford came into the league at a time when the rookie wage scale did not exist.

It's eating you up to know that Watson is going to get paid, regardless! Furthermore, I'd bet that after all is said and done, if he stays healthy, Watson will eclipse Stafford's earnings after all is said and done. Deal with it!

To be honest they should use him in that manner. They should trade back from 8, and gather a 2nd this year since Miami owns their 1sr and 2nd.

 

They should draft BPA this year, let Teddy tank it out with that bad roster, and put themselves in position to draft a QB of their choice at number 1 next year. They would then also have our 1st and the rest of their picks next year after taking QB at #1

I did, and wasn't a fan of certain parts, like this one...

I suspect the Panthers will be willing to get quite creative (including emerging pass rushing force Brian Burns in any package may be even more attractive than McCaffrey)

If you get Watson and then sign Von Miller while you try to find the Burns replacement in the draft....is that really a bad deal? 
 

How do we win more games? Rolling the rookie dice with Fields or Wilson and keeping Burns....or getting Watson and Von Miller while looking for prospect DEs. 
 

You can manufacture sacks and with schemes and other players....you can’t manufacture playmaking at QB.

Yeah that’s interesting I was reading an article that Chase Edmunds says we the way the cap was a lot of good players would take one year deals so we could do something like that.

I don’t think teams are allowed to trade 4 first round picks. 3 is the max.

I thought u could just not 4 consecutive? I might be wrong

You can do it as long as you have them--let's say via trade (which is why Miami and the Jets could do it because they each have 2 first round picks this year)--but you can't go more than three years into the future.

      Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

      As expected. Still no reason not to bring in competition via FA or draft. Bryce can be our bridge QB until we find ourselves our franchise QB.

      I've been here since the forum started.    It's an X through Fitterer because I couldn't stand him.   Very troll like behavior.

      I agree with this, wholeheartedly. Bryce tantalizingly has his moments, even his games. This past Saturday was one of those. He really became the Mouse that Roared after the team fell behind and the o-line started collapsing. And, in truth, I think had the play calling been better at the end, he might well have brought us back into another lead change. Talk about a legendary moment just missed. I'm going to get lambasted for this but as a cautionary tale, I want to just say we're sitting at a spot that the San Diego Chargers were way back in the day. They had a short-ish QB on a rebuilding team that was underwhelming most games, but had some really good moments. They decided instead to take a gamble on drafting someone new and letting that QB, Drew Brees, go find someone more willing to let him develop. They turned around and had a draft debacle with Eli Manning/Phillip Rivers, ending up with Rivers in the end. We've got to remember that Brees wasn't who he would become at that time, it would take a coach willing to open up the offense and give the tough young kid a chance to grow. Rivers would become the poster child for the guy who almost was. Brees will get a gold jacket someday to go with the Saints only Superbowl win. Bryce probably isn't Brees, only one guy was and he barely got the chance to be him. Giving Bryce another season, maybe two, on squad gives us the luxury of testing the waters and the growth.  QBs early in their careers take time. We saw Rogers last night at the end of his career (maybe), sputtering out before he heads to the barn for his spot in the HoF and we have to remember him at his best, after sitting on the bench for three years. And we have to look at the other side of that coin last night, CJ Stroud, a draft classmate of Bryce's who soared out of the gates but who has come to earth since. He's still a good QB with a long runway ahead of him, but his performance under the big spotlight wasn't as strong as Bryce's on this particular weekend. I'm not 100 percent sure Bryce will be the guy. I'd like to see some more fire in the young man, some push, something that shows he can force his will on the other team's defense.  I am, however, seeing a kid that can make the throws, who can improvise and who amazingly can run braver and faster than I really thought he could. I think he needs time, he needs more confidence and he needs more brave coaching. If he doesn't get that here, I think he might find it elsewhere. And we'd find ourselves like the Spanos family, sitting on the couch in February asking Phillip Rivers to pass the chips during the Super Bowl commercial breaks year after year.
