If we were two get 2 1st rounders and say a 3rd for Burns and we absolutely know we are going to be running a 4-3 defense I say yes. 

Burns is great as a 3-4 DE, but unless it's behind the LOS or he isn't being blocked by a 300 RT (or LT) he's a liability against the run.  Can he grow and be better against the run, possibly.  Is it a guarantee no.

I still don't see a team offering enough so it's probably a moot point anyways.

Love to see Shaq, Ian Thomas, CJ all traded though.  Hell, if we can get some good practice balls and a couple of coolers of Gatorade for next season we send Chuba outta here too.

Let’s look at how replacing players has gone thus far in the Tepper Era:

QB: downgrade
RB: downgrade
WR: downgrade 
TE: downgrade
OL: push
DL: downgrade
LB: downgrade 
CB: downgrade
S: push

Yeah, more picks works out well. 

This analysis is wrong on OL and CB, both position groups are better than when Tepper took over. More importantly, it ignores the fact that owners don't draft players, GM's and coaches do, and the coach and possibly GM who will be using these picks remain to be determined.

Did Tepper whiff badly on his first coach hire? Yes.

Does that automatically mean every hire he makes will be horribly inept and therefore acquiring picks will never matter the sky is falling let's slit our wrists nobody likes us everybody hates us guess we'll go eat worms?

No.  The next hire could suck too, but the only alternative to hoping it's better is to resign yourself to misery as a fan or stop watching. Personally I've chosen to stop watching until the team gives me a reason to watch. 

YMMV.

Per Steve Reed about an hour ago, he may be speculating but it’s worth mentioning: a player not many have mentioned that could be traded before the deadline is Donte Jackson. 
 

again, it seems like speculation, but you never know. 

Didn't like his extension. He's continuously banged up, a shoestring duster and gambles too much thinking his speed can bail him out.  The only other DB I'd part ways with I'd Henderson.  I'd take a 6th for him right now.

trading him before June 1 wouldnt be ideal for dead cap and salary cap reasons. I get there would be interest, but if we hold onto him we actually would be in a better position of moving him off the roster at a later point, unless the offer is above expectations.

Untouchables for me: Ickey, Moore (contract mainly), Brown, Chinn and Horn.  I would say Burns, but if he can net us two first rounders?  Any less than that and Burns is off limits too.

for me right now the only tradeable is Shaq. If Burns were to go... it would have to be multiple firsts and a mid to late mid pick. Its just too much production to give up at one of the most valuable positions in the game.

Completely agree. We let Gilmore walk to bring donte back. A guy that actually wanted to be here (not saying donte doesn’t) and all pro player that actually wanted to play in Carolina. That’s hard to come by.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      We were bad for years before Bryce Young and it wasn’t like this. I didn’t like the Rhule hire, but I didn’t drag the board down every chance I got. I didn’t like letting Cam go and bringing in Teddy, but I didn’t make it my mission in life to make sure everybody who disagreed with me was berated into submission.

      it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports team in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed ( I still content people falsely romanticize the old days).  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team.  if you are the most unsuccessful professional sports teams (Tepper's Panthers are that).....and a place like this isn't filled with very critical thoughts? Well, you probably don't actually have a real fanbase IMO.

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.
