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

If you do not have a QB, you are a team contenders scrimmage against. Season ticket holders deserve more. 

Consider that about half of the first rounders in the NFL never pan out, and second and third rounders don't usually become difference makers, if Bryce is good, we were great.  We have already made the WR room better, and we could not make the QB room better unless we did what we did.  This was a no brainer.  The Bears, like most teams, benefited from sucking many years in a row, so we shall see.  Time could reveal that they were stupid for holding onto Fields when Young becomes a pro bowler and they have the dilemma of giving a mediocre QB a $240m contract.

Absolutely no way of knowing. The trade is done. No point in trying to hash out the details of who "won" and "lost" the trade right now and we might not know for years to come. For quite awhile it looked like the Chargers won that Eli trade with the Giants. They got an arguably better QB and a haul of great assets with the picks they acquired. But when it was all said and done, two rings to none declared the Giants the hands down winner.

The trade is a win regardless of the outcome because we had to take a shot and this was as good as it gets. 
 

No trade = Darnold and Corral.

Yeah even if Bryce doesn’t pan out as we hope (and I think he will) I won’t ever call this trade a loss. Worth taking a shot on such an incredible talent at the most important position, especially after years of missing on veteran retreads.

It's all going to come down to how Bryce does, if he's a multi all-pro type of player then it will have been worth it, if not, then we got terribly ripped off.  I still feel it was far too much to give up for a QB of Bryce's size with the risk that comes with that.

Also still feel like the better move would have been to move up to #3, keep DJ and one of the 2nd round picks and then taken whichever fell to 3 between Stroud and Richardson.

If Young is a franchise QB we won or it was worth it, either way you want to look at if. If Young busts it will take 3 years or more before we write him off, by that time the trade assets will be paid up. It’s a trade you make as a GM 10/10 times if you think there is a franchise QB in the draft.

Less be honest. I think DJ moore may have been hyped a bit to much since the trade. These national blowhards treat him like he's prime Randy Moss going to Chicago.  So far Bryce has looked the part and then some even though no contact. If he's a a top 6-7 qb the next few years the trade was awesome for Carolina.

    • I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built. 
    • XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie. 
    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
