Sounds like the Panthers front office likes the smell of their own farts too much and thinks there are chump teams willing to give up a haul but this isn't the draft for it. And our rep is still the team that gets fleeced not the team that does the fleecing.

We don't need a haul just fair compensation, or even slightly unfair

Best news of the offseason. I still want an extra 2nd but a 3rd would still be worth it given the options at 8. I just hope someone bites.

If all we can get is a 3rd they will have to have a sweetener added to make it work. A straight up 3rd would be a bad trade

If you have something for sale and you don't like the price,  you keep it.  Still,  I expect at least a few teams are putting together offers for 8 if Jeanty or Sanders are there. 

I think more Jeanty and Hampton at this point.  Dallas is crazy for a RB and might be our ticket for a trade back if they see Chicago as a threat to take the guy they want

Best speculated return I've seen suggested so far is an extra mid second round pick.

The best 2nd round pick we've made in the last 8 years was Taylor Moton all the way back in 2017. And that was a Dave Gettleman pick. We are simply not good at this.

This is the draft to have 2nd round picks.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
