At this point in time, who feels like we lost this trade?

[WarPanthers89]

Boring time of the year, so this is a post to hear people opinions. Do you feel like we lost this trade/made the wrong decision, or do you feel we made the right decision making the trade?

THE TRADE:

The full package of assets sent to Chicago reads like a shopping list: the ninth-overall pick this year, a second-round selection in 2023 (No. 61 overall originally from the 49ers), a first-round pick in 2024, a second-round pick in 2025, and Moore, a receiver who just completed the first year of a three-year, $61.88 million contract with the Panthers.

At this point we will miss DJ Moore, a future first in 2024, and a 2nd in 2025.

Projected starters on offense going into 2023:

QB: Bryce Young

RB: Miles Sanders, Hubbard

WR: Thielen, DJ Chark, Marshall JR, Mingo, Laviska, Damiere Byrd

TE: Hurst, Thomas, Tremble

LT: Icky

LG: Brady C

Center: Bozeman 

RG: Corbett (when healthy)

RT: Moton

I still feel like we absolutely robbed them

Come on.....this trade was a win. Definitely right staff, right time.  And, Bears will not be getting a high draft pick.

Definitely not me...

But the reality is those final judgements are a long way off.

It’s wild because I feel like at the time of the trade the overwhelming majority of TV guys and social media was acting like the panthers were insane. I feel great about it. To possibly have a franchise QB is worth that trade all day, every day.

Way too early to tell, but I am excited for the possibilities.

It really just depends on Bryce I guess.  If he balls out then it's worth it, if he doesn't then it will be the worst trade in organization history.  Worse then Sean Gilbert.  Let's hope it works out.

The Bears are going to wish they kept that pick and traded Justin Fields. Oh well, they have their own 1st rounder so they could be in the #1 spot again.

Almost nothing has changed since draft day, heck you could make the argument that nothing changed since the day we made the trade. We have no idea what the value of the picks we sent or the players already selected are. We simply have nothing else to discuss until we see a large sample size of all the assets at large. I will say from a trade value chart the picks and assets we gave up was a good bet and I personally feel great about Bryce Young and think the world of him. But that is simply my opinion and we just don’t know currently.

Very true but honestly if I’m GM right now for the Panthers, I still take that chance 10/10 if you believe Young will be a franchise QB. We can easily survive missing Moore, next years first and 2025 2nd with all the cap we will have starting next year.

Agree. But, If you were GM do you make that trade?

It never once bothered me that we traded away DJ Moore. I’m only bringing him up because most all the pundits were using him as the reason we lost the trade. I never understood it, he’s a good wide receiver but he is (and was) replaceable.

I don't have any feeling about it until we see how Young pans out

Hell yeah brother, not often you’re even able to trade for the #1 pick in a QB strong class. Bryce has shown nothing but class and what you can show in OTAS. We finally have some true hope at QB and aren’t tossing out the Teddy B, and Darnolds of the world.
