A) Nobody is trading for him

B) His contract hit for us is way too much even if someone would give us a 4rth for him

 

I don't think that's true.  If he were in his late 20s or early 30s maybe, but he's got plenty of tread on the tires.  He would be one of the best slot receivers in the entire NFL if he played the position full time.  Plenty of teams would trade for him.  

Imagine how much of a contender the Bills become with a player like CMC?

With a CMC trade, the Panthers would take a huge cap hit.  Probably would have to absorb some of CMC's massive salary to get the deal done.  Wouldn't get much in return since it's all about dumping the salary.  And finally we'd likely see him become an All Pro on his next team if he were used correctly.

All in all a huge fail for Carolina.

I discussed this in an earlier post, but I'll jump in.

Keep Brady at LT.

Draft Linderbaum at CENTER with our 6th pick.

Start Deonte at RG.

Moton is already a fixture at RT.

Draft the best G on the board in the 4th round.

Now, if we could trade down in the first and still get Linderbaum, then I'd draft the best guard on the board with our acquired pick, probably a 2nd or 3rd.

This would address all the spots and it wouldn't cost us a lot money. We could use the available money to retain our FA' or acquire some.

Of course if Brady and Deonte don't pan out, we'll be screwed 

Linderbaum is hard to get a feel for. Typically centers don't go in the top 10 but I think he has a shot at it. He's that talented. I thought I saw him rated 7 or 8 overall on SI's big board so it is possible especially since the Qb class is lack. What I would do, would be overkill BUT: 

Free Agency: Find a way to get Ben Jones at center. Also target Duane Brown for LT incase BC doesnt pan out. Older but still producing at an above average level. 

I'd target Philly and trade for one of their firsts. With our #6 the value should net us 15, 51, 83. 

Pick 15: Kenyon Green 

......

Just those moves VASTLY improve our line and leave us flexible for the rest of the draft. 

Duane Brown-Christensen-Jones-Green-Moton..

BC and Green can play all over line incase of injury. Deonte Brown plugs in if that happens. 

Pick 51: Drake Jackson (DE) ... reminds me of YGM mixed with Burns but if insisted on going Qb with the pick...Carson Strong (QB). 

Pick 83: Brandon Joseph (FS) .. we finally get a true FS...instincts, ballhawk, range immediate starter imo + he can PR. Let's Chinn either move back to LB or up in the box SS. 

Pick 105: Lucas Abraham (OT) .. too much upside IMO. 

Pick 148: Darrian Beavers (LB) ...beast..Phil Snow type of player. 

Pick 156: Dameon Pierce (RB) ...tough runner, looks for contact, good vision... but if you want more finesse Max Borghi...the lite lite version of McCaffrey. 

Pick 199: Isiah Likely (TE)... Tremble is our blocking TE ..THIS will be our better version of Dan Arnold. 

Pick 248: Devonnsha Maxwell (DT)

I completely disagree with every point you made.  Every single one of those are complete assumptions.  The closest thing to a virtual guarantee, however, is us being well compensated for him in a trade.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
