Have the Panthers played this well?

Yes but I’d rather they get it over and just stand behind their guy. As others have said though they probably haven’t done their due diligence on Young vs Stroud yet because they didn’t know we’d have the choice.

Can multiple trades happen per selection or is it just one per pick ?

It would be a total Panthers scenario where we trade to #2 with Houston, then some other team swoops in and trades with Houston to take our guy.

We would have our picks back which in this draft is more valuable than who you may think is "our guy".

If you did the Burns deal you’re grabbing a pass rusher at 36 and 39.. I still don’t get why ppl think it’s smart to give up a 24 year old 2x pro bowl pass rusher??? Do you ppl know what positional value is??

Why? You have $45-50M a year in FA money with DJ and Burns to spend on whatever. We could not draft an edge rusher with any of the Rams picks and still come out with more value. It hard for some people to digest the overall value that was available to us.

Do you understand what we actually passed on for Burns? Pick 36 this year and 2 1sts from a team that just traded Ramsey for a 3rd. Do you get that the Rams are another Stafford injury away from a top 5 pick and appear to be rebuilding (harder without the picks we should have fleeced them for). What if one of those 1sts was a Jalen Carter or Will Anderson? That’s a risk you take that could end up with 1 of those picks being better than Burns by himself.

Where did Evero come from? What player did that team trade away? A 26 year old Chubb. He got 1 1st. We were offered 2 1sts and 1 2nd, which became pick 36. Burns being traded isn’t some crazy scenario, especially for what we would have gotten.

Also, guess what, positional value says that QB is your most important position not DE/OLB. What does our QB have for weapons right now? Hubbard, Thomas/Tremble and Marshall/Smith/Shenault. We have the worst skill position players in the NFL and it isn’t close. The worst. We also don’t have 1 2nd and 1 1st in the next two drafts. With Burns’ 2 1sts and 1 2nd, we could have a bevy of young stud weapons around him and use the huge cap space to add D. We’d be way ahead as a team.

You don't give up Moore not to get your guy.

They can be sold all day that the Texans want AR, or Young, and then they march up there and take Stroud...

Nah, just go ahead and turn in the card.

We gave up a lot of resources and capital to get that #1 pick which says to me that Reich and Fitterer know exactly who they want to take. The only reason they might trade back is if something comes up between now and then that puts a serious ding in the player's reputation or potential. If we trade back, even to #2, it will tell us a lot about who they wanted and how bad the ding is.

Trading back is going to be very hard to recoup what we have already put into the price for #1. We just put most of our chips in the center of the table, it's not likely anyone is going to be willing to either raise or allow us to "unsplash" the pot here.

They 100% know who they are drafting
