Look at the records (at the time) of the teams who made those moves. 

2016:

The trade between Rams and Titans.

Tennessee gave up trade value of 3104.2 and received trade value of 3365!

From the research I’ve done in 2001:

The trade between Chargers and Falcons.

Chargers gave up trade value of 3000 and received trade value of 2376! (Chargers must have received something else to match what they gave up in trade value)

That's not enough reason to not swing this year. 

Fug this timid crap. If you're confident, you go for it.

Is it just me or is the truly bold move the signing of Lamar Jackson?  
 

The draft is the draft. There is a true young franchise QB accepting offers rn….

Have you not been paying attention to who makes up this coaching staff? These are guys who knows offense and knows QBs. If there's a coaching staff that you should trust with deciding on a QB, it's this one. 

Frank fuggin Reich

Jim Caldwell

Josh McCown

Just these guys alone should be enough to warrant confidence in this team's ability to choose a good QB. It is for me anyway. 

I think their judgement on making this move is better than any staff this team has ever had. Conversely, I think they also have the ability to rationalize regarding “how much is too much” if it comes to that.  
 

I'm pretty confident with whose in charge which is good as I have no say in the matter.

A franchise qb is never too expensive. A franchise qb will bring in millions of revenue, notoriety, keep you in contention for super bowls. Invest in the now! 

How do you know he is a franchise QB?  Nothing is guaranteed.  Trevor Lawrence was the perfect QB that has been good,  not great.  No Lawrence here.  Giving up 3 firsts is incredibly risky for any of these players

How do you know that he WON'T be a franchise QB? Life is all about risks, everyone knows that tomorrow is not guaranteed, but if you also don't take risks you'll never achieve greatness. Do you know what your future holds? You don't, but you do the best that you can and make a calculated decision!

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
