1 first
2 seconds
DJ Moore


That's not a lot to give up for the #1 pick. WRs are easier to get than QBs. We have messed around with the QB situation for years and it hasn't worked. Now we have OUR choice. Not whoever is left over. We control this draft. 

I would have expected to give up more to get to #1 from #9.

Casual fans who don’t consider the pick swap say we gave up two 1sts. Then there is a discrepancy on how DJ is valued.

It’s way too early to be drawing conclusions about that. We basically gave up one first, two seconds (the lower of our two), and a receiver who isn’t a game changer. 
 

The other option was continuing to sign overpriced vets and hoping we finally break through or rolling with Corral or whoever was available at 9 and hoping for the best.

This was the right time to make the move. The other route would be more of the same that we’ve been doing since before and after the Cam era and for most of this team’s history.

There are folks who believe DJ Moore isn’t a true #1. If they are correct then we haven’t had a true #1 since prime Steve Smith. Maybe finding receivers is easier than finding a QB but for our organization we’ve sucked at finding both. 
 

A first, two seconds, and a player worthy of additional firsts or seconds is a fair trade to move up 8 spots.

To be fair we haven't had a lot of coaches that were good at developing young talent

It's not that much, especially since we'll be getting the top QB in the draft according to Frank Reich, Jim Caldwell, Josh McCown, Thomas Brown, etc. I'm sure Evero and Capers will also have some input on the matter as well.

I'm sure that this coaching staff and front office wouldn't have made that offer unless they thought there was someone in this draft who was special and could be built around and could make the most of every opportunity and personnel situation he's given.

It was less than I expected. Still not anything to overlook.

 

Heard somewhere that the multiple picks each year were more desirable to them than more picks over more years or something like that

I thought it was 2 first + DJ?

      I could use less of Steve Smith's opinion in my life.

      It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them.  If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway.

      I think the Baker/Darnold thing has been overblown. QBs that struggle with the team that drafts them and go on to find success elsewhere often do end up going to multiple new teams before they figure it out and/or find the right situation. It just so happened that we traded for both guys in back-to-back years and neither player had quite figured it out yet. Baker, I think, needed more time and a better supporting cast. Darnold, I think, benefitted from a year on the bench in San Francisco a ton. I don't really have any ill will towards either of them. I think they both came here with the best intentions after coming from difficult circumstances; unfortunately the Panthers were - and still are, it seems - also in the process of figuring things out.
