3rd best trade in 11 years???!


Recommended Posts

This can’t be said for any previous GM but Fitty raped the Texans.  We knew it was a good trade.  But how good??


The total sum value of the trade is the 3rd best trade since 2011.  
 

It’s at the 11 min mark. Yeah I know it’s PFF. 
 

The one mistake he made is that the pick is Rams 4th that the Texans had in 2022 I think. But the value that he states is still the same because they are grading as if it is a middle of round 4 pick in 2022.  
 

I am enjoying the new strategy in team building.  They old way killed our depth.

I dont know about that, but It was a eye opener for me and the only one I was like "Id do that", You are right about the future 4th being the rams pick, but my god they play in a insane division and could easily go 7-10 while playing well. Id like to get the roster to the point of only needing like 3-4 rookies too, so the focus would be trading up than back. Even that one trade up was nothing but a late 6th to get your main/last OT target. 

Thats why at drafts end I dubbed thee "The Finesser"

Im about 95% sure its the rams pick, seen it somewhere during the draft and details were its the rams pick. @Mr. Scot do you remember the details?

From Gantt's war room article...

The Texans called, offering their fourth-rounder and a 2022 fourth-rounder to move up from 109 to 89. Having given up their own fourth in the deal for quarterback Sam Darnold, the Panthers were immediately intrigued. Then came the haggling. Looking for more value, the Panthers asked which fourth the Texans were offering, their own or the Rams pick acquired in a previous trade. If the Panthers were willing to take the Rams' pick, there was going to need to be more stuff included.

"There's a lot going on at the time," Burke said with a laugh, in the understatement of the night.

Tepper, Fitterer, Rhule, and cornerbacks coach Evan Cooper were standing by Stewart and Suleiman's side-by-side desks, on a call with the Texans. Things were being discussed. It didn't appear to be going well. Burke had a player's name on a card, ready to make a selection at 89.

Eventually, the two sides started speaking the same language, and the deal was made. The Panthers picked up an extra fifth-rounder and the all-important future fourth (the Rams version), giving them five picks on Saturday, and wrapping things up for a night.

So, they got 89, and we got 109 (which we traded for 126, 166, and 232 / Hubbard, Taylor, Hoskins), their 5th (# 158 / Nixon), AND the Rams 2022 4th round pick.

Yeah.  Texans got Nico Collins at 89. 
And we turned that into the above. 4 players and a 4th next year.

I can get behind that deal all day! I think Hubbard and Nixon will contribute this year and we recouped our 2022 4th for Darnold. Now, let's all hope the Rams are awful this year.

It's hard to tell about Hubbard.  The only clips they had of him were when he was in high school.  I think he was a shot in the dark.

Nevermind..... I was thinking Hoskins..

Yeah I loved the Hubbard pick.

Sorry about that. 

I think the plan last year was to let Davis take a little of the load off CMC, until CMC got hurt and Davis ran his ass off and we couldn't afford to keep him. Hubbard slides immediately into that role, IMO. Nice to keep a bit of the wear and tear off of our $64M man.

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
