Give them a top 10 pick for a WR who will be 28 by the end of the year and will be one of the highest paid at his position? That's how you remain firmly in the cellar as we have been....

Dropping from 8 to to 18 in the first and moving up from 57 to 50 is right around the value of a 2nd round pick.  

DK, even at 28 years old, is 100% worth that. Still get a top 20 player this year and lose zero picks.

This makes even more sense now that Seattle needs a QB. The Raiders will likely take a player we're coveting instead of Shedeur now. Moving back with Seattle for better draft capital and DK could be in play.

TBH, I would rather just get more top 90 picks from them for that swap.

We get far better than DK Metcf being added with competent drafting and more resources(I know, I know, we haven't seen any competent drafting in years).

I think that also depends on if Seattle opts to go free agency for a QB.

I will say, it would be a pretty strange move to deconstruct the offense like that in year two of a young HC.

We would have to give up too much in my opinion.  Even if he was only a free agent I'd think twice about the money it would take.

I’ll never understand the crowd that says “we would have to give up too much”

A 2nd rounder is too much?

We’ve spent 2nd rounders on TMJ, Mingo and a 1st rounder on XL trying to find a guy that’s like DK. Given this organizations inability to draft WR’s they need to trade for one

Well wouldn't the better idea be to just get better at drafting?

He won't be 28 until NEXT December!

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
