Sucks we wasted a generational QB in Cam and the best we could do was Ginn Jr and Fat Benjamin. Meanwhile Burrow has 2 #1 WRs all in their prime.

They played it smart and we didn't. They found them a franchise QB then focused on putting the best possible pieces they could around him. We found a franchise QB then thought we had offense solved so we could then spend all our resources on defense. The weapons we put around Cam and the OLs we put in front of him were laughable.

I’d be down for this trade 

https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2024/01/31/brian-burns-trade-ravens-panthers/#:~:text=According to an article by,quest for the Lombardi Trophy.

Hypothetical Trade We’d Love to See: EDGE Brian Burns for 2024 first-round pick, 2025 third-round pick and EDGE David Ojabo

Ballentine’s proposed tag-and-trade with Baltimore would actually be a tremendous deal for both teams. The Ravens would get a more proven pass-rusher than Devid Ojabo, while Carolina would refill its draft cache.

Interesting deal.  I would certainly be excited about the first but if we draft bad there we are basically giving him away here.

i'd like that trade too. essentially two late first rounders since He was just taken at pick 30 last year. No reason he wouldnt atleast replace YGM.

Doesn’t change anything but he went pick 45.  His upside is interesting for sure.  I would probably do this trade instead of paying him something astronomical

Also seems to have a Thomas Davis journey with past injuries. Could use the money earmarked for Burns on Huff too and have Huff-Ojabo moving forward. Ojabo is all upside, where Burns is more proven. 

There's worse deals out there, but I'd prefer to pay Burns, eat the draft capital lost this year and move forward in 2025. Our 2nd is essentially a very late first and we will land a first-round talent at 33 whether it's WR/OL/DL. Too much talent this year early that will push players down and out of day 1.

I mean, if you draft right, you can get better value. This is important for a team that is rebuilding.

And if you can’t draft right you really aren’t going anywhere regardless. You have to have faith in your GM and staff at some point.

Rivera did the same thing with the oline in Washington. Came in with a really one, and slowly replaced it with defensive linemen. He did better with receivers though. Not a lot better. But better. He inherited Logan Thomas and scary Terry.

We tried to give Cam weapons. Drafted  2 first rd receivers. 2 second round receivers, mccaffrey

 

Only CMC and Moore any good though

Ron and his utter disregard for the OL is pretty wild.

The did kind of try by throwing money at Oher (injury had to retire), then at Matt Kalil (sucked), then tried to draft Greg Little (busted). We could never bounce back from Gross retiring…

All the best teams are built through the draft these days.

 Chicago is in an unbelievable position to build their team.

Remember how long Andrew Norwell sat on the bench behind Amini Silatolu?
