Second pick. My first thought as a GM is getting the guy who is going to make the biggest impact for my TEAM to win. If Claiborne or Coples are there then those are the two guys who in the long-term make the biggest impact. If those two guys aren't there then I start thinking OL rather than reaching for a guy like Kirkpatrick. Agree with protecting Cam but our defense is terrible and an OL isn't going to help that. A pass-rusher or lockdown corner will.

don't see the point honestly. we are getting 3 or 4 guys back on the line who ended the year on IR, schwartz, otah, and williams have all started and all looked solid when they have at one point or another. yes i know otah is never healthy, but his back ups are solid. add into that mix bell in his second year, who should improve quite a bit, and we are pretty deep on the O-line. cam is mobile enough to where he could thrive behind an offense made of our starters from this year plus one of those guys mentioned above.

We go defense first pick, defense second, possibly in the 4th, then we look at late round O-line talent because for whatever reason hurney is really good at finding late draft O-line gems/solid backups.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      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.
