Plus this sets us up for BPA in the draft and not having to wish and play any QB roulette 

Bingo.

Its not a bad move for what we gave up. Draft picks are overrated. You win in this league by being aggressive. Titans fans were saying the same thing about Ryan Tannehill when they got him, blah blah, he sucks....

It has worked out for them and they are now contenders.

Difference is despite what people think Ryan Tannehill put up pretty good numbers and improved almost every year despite having a crappy team around him for most of that time and still learning the QB posting because he was a WR in college.

Lmfao.  I won’t judge him until he’s given a fair shake, but damn.  A second rounder?  Jesus.  This reeks of desperation.

In what world do you think it only costs a 2nd, 4th and 6th to move up from 8?

Exactly. We couldn’t have gotten to six for this price.

Great moved. Now we trade back and draft 2 starter OL and we are set. Build the freaking line first, worst case we sign a veteran QB like Rogers but have a beast line like the 05 Broncos and last year Bucs as reference.

Let's get to work Sam!!!

He dominated Chase Young

Though... I can't lie... a QB room that goes from Teddy Bridgewater, PJ Walker, and Will Grier to Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold, and Justin Fields sounds kinda hawt

 I mean, the Jets started a near 40 year old RB last year.  Got no talent at WR.  Have horrible coaches.

Sam Darnold sucked.  He might suck here.  But there was no possible outcome for any QB but to suck in NY.

RIP hopes of Trey Lance.  At least I won’t be as anxious heading into the draft.  We should be able to draft a good player with the huge run on QB’s that’s likely to happen

Kyle Pitts in the first round. An offensive lineman in the second round.

the teams around Tannehill and Darnold aren't really comparable though.   Tannehill's weren't great.  But many of his teams looked pretty dang solid vs what we saw in NY.  Especially this year.

I hope we restructure Teddy's contract after this.

[Proudiddy]

Yikes.

Didn't mind taking a flier on him even though I dont believe in him one bit...  but that second rounder turned this deal to poo for me.  Horrible.

Damn that #8 is wide open now!  

Exactly.  Panthers now have realistic options.  If they don't like what's available at 8 they should be able to easily trade back for additional picks.
