Its 100% a haul no mental gymnastics needed, if you can zoom out from how much CMC meant to you as a fan and look at it more in terms of NFL value.

I mean he is right.  The primary reason we traded CMC was draft capital.   We have very little to attract a HC.  We lacked it.  And we lacked it because of the moves of our front office. 

I mean, it is a haul to some extent.  But we needed that haul because we have been poorly run.

"We weren't going to win with him" is a hell of a way to justify getting rid of every good player you have. Guess since we aren't going to win with any of the players next year, best to deal next April's first right now while it still has value.

That is what happens when a regime throws away seasons as often as ours does.

This trade is the NFL GM equivalent of making a bunch of bad financial decisions, so you have to take your best asset to the pawn shop and take what you can get.

People can do mental gymnastics about how a late 2nd and late 3rd is a "haul", but when you zoom out, this trade is really a capstone of a very poorly run team.

To be fair I think paying big money to one of the shortest shelf life positions in the NFL and running your entire offense through one guy is just as much to blame for the position we’re in as the trading away of draft capital.

I'm also in a more positive mood, because I grabbed Chuba for my office fantasy team while my coworkers on the West Coast won't even know about the trade for another hour.

It think Foreman would be the better pickup for Fantasy, but I got to think there's a better option on your waivers than the lead back in the worst offense in the NFL.

That's why Stroud/Young has to be traded next October when the team is 0-7, and averages 64 yards of total offense. Because you're not gonna win with them, so may as well deal them for more draft picks you can use on players you won't win with, so you can trade them for future draft picks to get players you won't win with, and so on and so forth.

You may not like the trade personally, but I don't see how you can say we got "hosed".  We got 4 high to mid level draft picks for our oft-injured, super high priced RB.  As I'm sure you know, its not that difficult to find a cheap, productive RB these days.  RB's today are complimentary pieces, not something you invest in or design your offense around.  2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks are nothing to sneeze at.  

They are not high level picks. They are at the bottom of each round. 

Most likely all will be jags or busts.

And what if the first round QB can't ever beat out Matt Corral?

Why in the world would that ever be the case though?  Corral looked utterly lost out there before he got hurt, and I am positive that either CJ Stroud or Bryce Young will come in Day 1 and QB circles around Corral.

People are finally realizing that regardless of today, the Carolina Panthers will never be a good team again. This franchise is destined for a 30-plus-game losing streak and the first 0-17 season ever. Probably two consecutive 0-17 seasons before they move.

LOL Jesus Christ dude.

The first overall pick will be enough to attract the coach.  CMC wasnt gonna be the reason someone came here.  Having a LT and a WR1 locked up long term to pair with the young guy of their choice will definitely attract one.  I think we'd have traded CMC even if we had all our picks, he didnt match up with our timeline and we needed to reset the books for 2024 and beyond.

Giving a new coach a full complement of picks is just another plus for them to be able to build out the roster how they want instead of being locked into something.

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, but the actual jersey Bryce Young is wearing is not the same jersey you are buying from Fanatics.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
