theres sandbagging every draft, but after the pick I felt better and really felt like we tried to play some teams.  I remember in december/november he was like a #3/#4 overall pick.  I think teams were sandbagging hard on him.  In Fairness, I think teams were also (probably us too) sandbagging Mason Graham.  Teams took the bait on Tet.  I had a feeling something was up when we did a personal visit with him.  didnt seem like our MO.  That said, I will die on the hill that IMO, we were prepared to trade back, the idea was if Ashton Jeanty fell, and I still think the Cowboys sell their soul  for #8 if he was there, he wasnt so they stayed pat.  Legit all of this falls in line with the rumors.

you know we fuged up if we are having to use other teams as justification of our draft pick

Don't think we fuged up at all. We need an X WR. You can not sign one in FA, trading for any of them worth a damn is too costly. You basically have to draft one. 

 

Big fan of this move. There were major questions marks with any defensive prospect we took at 8

      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.
