[TheSpecialJuan]

Good article, but no mention of the generational prospect they let fall to the Bucs...

What generational prospect did Carolina let fall to the Bucs?

Rueben Bain - the guy that's going to wreck our OLine for the next 5+ years.

How does that make sense though? We can’t “let someone fall” to a team that picks ahead of us

 

Bain was a great prospect and I think is going to be good, and I hate that he went to an NFCS team but he is nowhere close to generational prospects like Myles Garrett or Julius Peppers.

If he was there at 19 with monroe that would be a tough conversation but probably end with bain he is a beast but I am not trading up for him

Did you read the article? It's all about trading and navigating the Draft...

Yup, whole thing. I’m just saying it’s not possible to “let a player fall” to a team in front of you. If you consider trading up for a player ahead of another team but decide not to, you’re not “letting the player fall”, you’re just deciding not to trade up yknow? 
 

letting a player “fall” requires the ability to pick the player which we never had
