Exactly.

 

So we trade our pro bowl pass rusher just to use one of those picks to replace him.

 

People act like we have multiple elite pass rushers on this team. We need Brian Burns. Trading him hurts this defense.

At the time we were in tank mode and it looks like the Rams picks will be t10ish picks over the next couple years. Just using Carter as an example, it would be trading a pass rusher for a more talented pass rusher and delaying the amount of time until you have to pay the pass rusher that is more in line with your championship window, and then getting extra picks on top of that while simultaneously reducing the amount of picks we would have had to use to trade up to 1 if it had led to us losing more games.

I don’t want to derail the thread. Just jealous of the Eagles getting one of the top 3 most talented players in the draft after coming off a Super Bowl.

    • 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?
    • It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
