I've been in a lot of Yahoo mocks where I've drafted a top 3 RB or Calvin Johnson and had Cam fall to me in the second round. Obviously, that's best case scenario.

All the mock drafts I've encountered, Cam went top 10 most of the time but never in the second round. Maybe once but he was like the 2nd pick in the 2nd round. A steal if you ask me.

Smitty never made it past the 3rd round either.

I'm going to try to stay away from most panthers players, unless it's a steal. With this group though, I think I won't get any panther player.

I had the 7th pick in that league too. I really got lucky that Brees, DeMarco Murray and Dez Bryant dropped to me in later rounds. For some odd reason people shied away from Dez and Murray. Either they know something that I don't or they really hate the cowboys. I got Murray in the 3rd round and Dez in the 5th round. Value picks the way I see it.

      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.
