I honestly was shocked, but I do like the trade. Here's why. We moved from #9 to #1 overall. That's our choice of who and what we want to pick, before anybody else gets a chance, we get our pick of the litter right out of the gate.
A few days ago I watched a video and they were talking about the Colts wouldn't have to pay as much as the Panthers because they were only moving up four spots rather than nine, and talked about what a huge disparity it was between 4 and 9.
They broke it down that, in order to get the Bears to be willing to move all the way to #9, the Panthers would have to trade a first and second round pick this year, and a first round pick thru 2025, but several second and third round picks in between.
In all honesty, we aren't giving up but ONE first round pick to move up. How's that? Simple. We keep a 1st rounder this year, it's the 1st overall pick. We trade one of the CMC picks in the 2nd round this year, but we still have an earlier 2nd rounder. Next year we give up our 1st round pick. Year after next, we give up our 2nd round pick, wherever that spot might land. And, DJ Moore has been a trade rumor all last season, even before CMC.
That having been said, IF the Panthers pick any other quarterback than CJ Stroud, they missed the mark. I like WIll Levis, but he's not the #1 overall pick of the Draft. He's just not.
And there is still time for more trades to take place. We could "FEASIBLY" still trade the #1 overall pick to go back to #4 or later and pick up a buttload of picks lol (But I don't see that happening)
