The thing that eases my mind a bit about the draft pick compensation is that those could very easily be busts with our draft track record. Fitts seems a bit better than Hurney/DG but who knows for sure. A sure thing franchise QB in place is extremely important. My issue is still with adding a franchise defender (or more than 1) to those picks. Burns, Chinn and Horn should be off limits. Brown or someone else, ok.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned specifically, but it's been touched on by other posters, is the value of our 6th overall this year vs. other competing offers. Because the value of future picks is reduced by about 1 round per year into the future, our 6th overall this year is worth approximately the same as a mid-first round pick each of the next 3 drafts.

If Burns and Chinn are worth a late first each, then our 6th overall this year and those two players is equivalent to 3 1s this year, and a first in each of the next 2 drafts (5 1sts overall). That should be more than enough to meet their asking price, right?! If so, we would have our QB and all of our picks starting next year to start building the team around him. What am I missing (besides the fact that we are probably going to give up far more than Houston's original asking price)?

 

technically, you can combine 2 first round picks late in the draft and the value would be less than the #6 pick.  Since Houston has the #3 pick, they could strike gold with a few free agents and the draft.

Dude you are gonna be hospitalized if we don’t get him.  Way too emotionally invested dog

I dont believe I've shown any emotions. This has been the most discussion worthy that has occurred in months here. Dont hate that I want in the fun of conversing potential outcomes, ha. I get joy in this poo.

Ill be the first to jump into a backup plan thread too if we lose out.

I've found you to be one of the more reasonable voices in here, FWIW.

Panthers are officially 35 million over the cap with the recent moves. If Darnold is included in the deal and we collect on the 6.1 bonuses from Fox. We will be just under 60 million under the cap. That does not include Watson's cost. 

Atm D4 would cost 35 million and leave us 25million. However, if he is restructured at time of trade.... get your popcorn...

Now Colin is saying Brown's going after Watson. I'd much rather us go get Baker and keep our 6th than mortgage the future for Watson and give away young defensive players 

that would be a good backup plan for us. Baker can most likely be had for a conditional 3rd because of the browns vocality around trading him. They reduced his value.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
