The Pick the Panthers gave to the 49ers was......

Brown is something and that pick could also turn out to be something - or nothing - so right now having Brown is better than nothing.

It's also possible that we could end up trading for the 16th pick or better this year. As I look down that list, I ask myself if Jacksonville really wants to pay 10th or 11th overall pick money... many experts agree The Golden Calf of Bristol may still be on the board at the start of the 2nd round.

On Brown, we have a known commodity now, who has had a full year of NFL development in our system, who is a pretty good player and has been getting better all year long. I have stood by the decision to trade that pick to get him and I hope he makes the same progress next year.

I like what I've seen from Brown in a limited role. He'll no doubt put on a couple lbs. this summer and he'll have a year in the system under his belt. Given his speed, desire and work ethic I have little doubt this will work out in the long run. Too many expect/want instant gratification with these trades and it rarely works that way, especially with DL's.

Well we traded away this year's pick to get a guy now that could step in and play well.

That was the deal, and that's why we did it. If we wanted a guy that was going to be good later, we wouldn't have traded for it now.

In that respect, Brown was a failure. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm sure he'll be a good player for us down the line. But that's not the point of the trade. That's not how the trade should be evaluated.

It was a bad move that probably won't hurt the team down the line, but definitely helped handicap us.

If we did not have Brown and lost either Brayton or Pep to FA, then I would imagine our first round pick this year would have been a DE. Therefore we genuinely did just pick our DE a year earlier than we needed him.

except we may have got Carlos Dunlap instead of Brown

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
