Bears MB saying that we were trying to offer 3 1sts but they wanted Moore. Not sure how much of that is true. 

Given the source alone I'd probably call bullsh-t, but that story doesn't make a lot of sense.

I feel like the trade should've been good enough with just the picks.  Not thrilled about the cost, but excited to see what we do at #1.  And I'll miss DJ.  I hope he flourishes with Fields.

And yet, I also feel like I'm surprised we only gave up two firsts if that makes any sense.

Technically only one first since this year's is a swap.

Damn Bears give up 1 top pick and get a superstar WR, another top pick next year and more picks 

Superstar? What the?? Never once has a DC ever been worried about gam planning against DJ. He’s good but dude never took over or was a true difference maker.

Look, I’m not gonna act like an armchair expert, been lurking here forever and love this board.  All I know is we have an experienced staff that is looking to create a new culture and get the Panthers back to being relevant on Sundays. 
Could be the worst trade ever, could be franchise positive for years to come. Honestly just stoked to see where it goes. I think DJ is gonna do great things in Chicago, hate seeing him go, but we had to do something to fix the QB situation.  Good or bad, no matter what your stance is on what we gave up, you gotta admit it’s great to control the narrative at this point.

No...its a bad trade and not  spinnable to trick our sensibilities.

Brugler mentioned Reich liking him.

(really liking him, in fact)

My view hasn't changed. I'm good with whoever we decide on because I trust the guys making the decision.

I agree as long as it’s someone from the staff, if they like Levis then I’m on board though I do prefer Stroud. But I don’t want the team selecting players because our owner wants to play real life Madden.

We have a great staff and I trust them to get us back to where we need to be as long as Tepper lets them do their job.

100%. He was good but nothing like a steve Smith or some true game changer.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
