Quinten Johnston in the 1st, then Max Duggan in the 2nd.

Maybe not, but it would be odd to allow him to trade away CMC and turn down 1st round picks for Burns if he wasn't part of the long term plan IMO.  

I look at it as opposite with burns.  If he was in the long term plans then he would probably be more open to trading for future picks.  As it stands now I doubt he knows his future

Johnston is a fine player but honestly we already have someone very similar in TMJ.  We gotta go QB in the first…we can’t keep kicking the can there

That’s how I see it. Either trade up (or have a high pick) for Young or Stroud, or sit back and draft on upside with Levis or Richardson.

I am good not even drafting a qb at this point we got PJ and Matt we good for another year or two and see how it pans out I don’t think any prospects is better than pj right now. Get the best WR and DE or LB or DT 

I'm with you on this. Drafting a QB in the first just for the sake of drafting a QB in the first doesn't make a lot of sense to me. No one I've watched (honestly havent watched them all) really jumps out as "yeah, that's the guy." PJ is better than I thought and who the Hell knows what Corral can do? He wasn't exactly coached up this season. Go with best available and see what happens.

There comes a time to put all the chips in for a QB…if we like the right guy we have to treat this like no cost is too much.  I didn’t think Deshaun Watson was the way to go but Tepper was close to all in there.  The draft isn’t any different.  
 

Multiple firsts, players whatever…you have to go get that player

My problem would be this team has not been good at finding that QB.  Atrocious actually.  Very worried that they don’t know how to evaluate QBs.

Who is that player though? I haven't seen anyone worth betting the farm over. No one I've seen seems to have the it factor. Maybe they'll be good, who knows? I haven't really been particularly impressed

Why in the name of all that's holy am I looking at yet another thread about drafting a WR in the first when WR at present looks like a strength on this team (DJ solid, TMJ showing obvious potential now the Fhule is gone) when QB is the desperate need and the key weakness of our defense is like of pass rush outside of Burns?

Stop drooling over frisbee catching dogs because you're too focused on fantasy football and look at what's needed to actually win a SB. WR talent is abundant around the league and little evidence exists that elite WR talent matters to playoff success vs the two positions I named.

You’re living in the early 2010s. See SB last season, the 2 most arguably important players on those teams: Kupp and Chase. Not to mention virtually every top team has elite WR groups. MIA is finally on the upswing with Waddle and Hill leading the way. Minny would simply not be 6-1 without Jefferson. Allen has Diggs and Davis. And umm.. the undefeated Eagles have AJ and Smith rolling and are a big reason Hurts has been able to step it up.

That doesn’t mean we go WR rd 1 but your narrative doesn’t hold water. Elite WRs are what modern offenses are focusing on. 

And I’m sorry but it’s just not a strength for us. TMJ has shown us a nice game. Let’s see what happens.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      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.
