I get it but for a rebuilding team that squandered a ton of draft capital you play the long game especially if that trade team is the rams for the above reasons.   

I understand your take - I also understand why the Panthers might not see things similarly. They could easily view the Rams picks as not being very early firsts in the future... The Rams this year are bad, yes, but they've demonstrated the ability to bounce back EXTREMELY quick, and I really don't expect the catastrophic breakdown over multiple years as some folks here.  They have a lot of key pieces on IR now too, who will be back next year. They may be losing their best player on D, but they still have a lot of pieces, including on that side of the ball.

RE: McVay retiring, he mentioned Stafford, Kupp, and Ramsay as well as AD, so I don't think that he is retiring at the end of the year.

edit: It's actually possible AD comes back next year from what I'm reading, too...

You dismissed a “metric” with no personal bias. Wanted to show posts from people on here to prove your point. Only to offer a vague list from one person taken before the year. Wonder who was on that? 
 

   The only one displeased is you and your “we should overpay him because….reasons” theory about a player on your favorite team. 

Suddenly ESPN's 25 under 25, a ranking from multiple beat writers that was published Nov. 29, is a vague list taken before the year?

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
