Lets Say We Get Morris Claiborne... And Zach Brown Drops To Us In The 2Nd...

Lets say we get Morris Claiborne due to circumstances... and Zach Brown drops to us in the 2nd... Do we gamble with our DT situation holding up under Ron Edwards and sophomore DT's with an offseason or do we ignore the incredible chance to instantly replace Thomas Davis with his home grown clone and just blindly take best available DT?

There will be some great DE's available at our 2nd round pick.. it would be very hard to pass one up. I could pass on Zach Brown, even though he would fit our scheme perfectly. Pass rush is more important.

Walterfootball.cOm has morris claiborne dropping to us due to cleveland being forced to select ryan tannehill and tampa going with trent richardson. We also have the option of trading back should the Buc select M Claiborne and Richardson drops to us at 10.

Walterfootball also has zach brown falling pass us and us selecting Jerel Worthy DT from michigan state, which isnt a bad pick. But given the option to replace t davis with homegrown talent in the second... Shouldnt we take it?

well you definitely take Claiborne, I'd only take Brown if the DE/DT's there are not first round to early second round grade, in other words Brown is the best pick available at a position of need

Interesting side question, not that he will drop after yesterday's 40, but if Kendall Wright is there in the second do you take him

    • 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.
