For Burns? At first thought it doesn’t make much sense, but thinking through A) Wilks connection B) paying Purdy nothing C) their wealth on draft picks this year D) absolutely in win now mode… does it make sense they could potentially be Burns shoppers? They would immediately have the most dominant d line in prob NFL history, but at the cost of having 100M+ locked up just in D Line

Niners are contenders as is. Lions on the other hand need another pass rusher if they want to even be in the conversation vs the Niners/Eagles.

They have 2 third rounds as well. I think a 1/3 this year and a 2 or 3 next year would be fair to both sides

No way.  They are already paying their 2 starting Edge rushers a combined 54 million dollars a year

I could see it.

Stanley manhandled Hutchinson this weekend.  That Ravens OL is coming together at a good time for Lamar and whatever RB they're starting.

Good players get paid. Just because we aren't willing to pay Burns doesn't mean other franchises wont.

 

 

Yup. How about we pay our best pass rusher who is entering his prime with a contract that lasts the length of Young’s rookie contract. 

 

Burns is one of the few players worth watching. We’ve already given away the two most entertaining offensive guys.

Its sad people think trading all of our best players away is cool.

 

It's also funny they ignore the players we are drafting with those picks are not good players. Pretty soon we will have a roster full of nobodies. Then people will start missing our former stars CMC/Moore/Burns etc...

The questions are how much do you pay him and does he still want to be here?

I think the first part is the rub for most. I can't see paying him more than maybe $25-26/mil. He will likely want $30 mil or more. 

The second part we will know soon enough, I figure.

If the team doesn't think they can get a deal done, you gotta try and move him. Otherwise he walks and you get literally nothing.

Last year "We need a QB, fug it, Im willing to trade our best reciever to get a QB"

*Get QB*

This year "Our receivers suck, Im willing to trade our best Edge rusher so we can get a legit WR"

I think yall know what we'll be saying next year.  Its the circle of life as a panthers fan.  

I hear you and it sucks. but first thing we need to do is get some talent around bryce. we will unfortunately have to sacrifice what defensive progress we've made to do that.

 

Blame Fit for not doing anything with the CMC return and wasting so many assets.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
