Chinn and Horn should be off limits. I love Burns but he’s going to get a massive contract soon and there’s a decent chance he doesn’t live up to it so I’m ok letting him go. Chinn is he heart and soul of this D though and his position doesn’t get paid crazy amounts so should be easy to keep long term. Horn still has 4 more cheap years on his deal and looked like a shutdown number 1 corner before the injury. Can’t give that away.

 

Burns or Brown, sure but still ideally keep Burns too

This is why I'm most okay giving up Burns.  And while he is valuable in the sense that he is a pass rusher, he's not an all-around edge defender.  He's not an untouchable level edge player like the Bosas, Garrett, TJ, etc.

I'll still miss him though.  My mom bought me his jersey last year and I love everything about him.  But on-field wise, it is worth trading him in a package for Watson.

I disagree with Chinn being off limits but I could be underrating him a tad.  Admittedly I don't think I've ever been as high on him as other Panthers fans.  But I do think he could be better if we paired him with a safety with near-unlimited range.  We'll see though.

Horn I 100% agree should be off limits.  Not only is he still early enough in his rookie contract, but corners as skilled in man coverage as he is should not be shipped away when it can be avoided.

I think the only other player I'd really not be a fan of us trading is DJ Moore.  No. 1 WRs are important and Moore to me is a top-15 guy (which is really freakin' good).  I'm most excited for him if we get Watson.  Moore is going to be up insane numbers with a QB who can finally hit him downfield.  Yeah Moore will need to get paid but lets be honest, nowadays you gotta pay for a WR.  Whether it is your own or through draft picks, you will be paying something and likely a high premium unless you get lucky.

If we are giving up Chinn then it needs to be Brown heeded out not Burns. Chinn and Burns along with three first rounders is the equivalent of five first rounders.

Chinn AND Burns is honestly a deal breaker for me given the pick haul. One or the other should be the line in the sand.

I'd rather not see us trade Derrick Brown either.  Especially if we trade Burns.  Brown didn't have as good of a sophomore season as we would have liked, but he's 23, to be 24 years old.  And he looked too good as a rookie for me to give up on him.  I think his potential remains very high.

Not that I'll be all up-in-arms if we trade him.  But I think we should try to keep at least one of Burns/Brown.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
