I think part of it is also getting a deal you're happy with but making sure you're sending the player to a good situation as well. I'm sure it won't be lost on his agent that we could've sent him to the Rams but sent him to a contender instead. Maybe they'll steer some players we're interested in our way.

This is why I believe, barring a QB you really like falling to 9, you trade down if there's a team interested in that spot. We need players. 

Im not opposed to trading down. If we do that then I would like to see us bring in a vet QB to compete with Coral.

To be honest, what CMC wanted should have been secondary

The team paid him $64 million dollars.  That’s enough compensation for a RB

So stupid is as stupid does, twice over 

as for the Rams, it was pretty clear they  were not last years Rams 

he wanted the west coast, he would have had it in LA as well 

it’s not like they were sending him to Houston or the jets

I get what you are saying, but I really hate when people call a late 2nd round pick "basically a 3rd".  It literally makes no sense.  Just call it a late 2nd round pick, because that is what it is.  There are a set amount of picks in a round for a reason.

Why the GM chose to not trade Mccaffrey to the rams is beyond me 

rams were trending downward  so those picks are now more a 3rd  a 4th and a 5th  Give me a high 2 and 3  who cares about a 4th

Are we sure he was willing to go to the Rams? He may have only been willing to go to the 9ers considering his connections there.

Both the 49ers and Rams were 3-3 at the time of the trade.  CMC wanted to go to the 49ers.  

I believe its very clear given the shanahan mccaffrey bromance is nearly 40 years old. If given the choice(theres strong support that CMC should have a say), its going to be 49ers with shanahan.

Also, depending how his contract was written,  he may have needed to approve which team he was traded to. I don't know if there was or wasn't, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was a clause in it.

It was common sense then 

it’s common sense now 

i be spend a good part of time in CA whether I want to or not  I saw and heard about the Rams far more than I want to 

we didn’t owe CMC some royal send off of his choosing. 

every single decision should be about the good of the franchise 

In the case of the Panthers, it seldom is 

There have been several seminal moments with Fitterer.  This was another one

Right? They always phrase it like that to fit their narrative but then they’re never willing to call an early 3rd, a late 2nd.

Watching him be injury-free with the 49ers makes me think he was sandbagging here anyways. 
 

It’s true that the Panthers always want to be the “nice guys” as an organization and it’s always bit them in the ass

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
