Wouldn’t be interested in trading down just pick up some later picks. I would be willing to trade 33 for next year’s 1st and since it’s the first pick of the second round we could probably get more. This year’s 3rd or 4th plus next year’s 1st maybe.

Or even better, trick the Bears into thinking there’s a lemon law and we get back all our picks and Moore

Trade Bryce to the Bears for our #1 back

That’s a difference of about $23m a year. Burns got 30, we gave Wonnum about 7. Much better value. We got Wonnum, elite RG Hunt and $3m space for Burns cost.

Dunno who Luke Combs is, but he sounds like a casual fan. “There were 20 other guys” sounds like someone who thinks that being the best coordinator means he’ll be the best coach. That’s a casual take if I ever heard it. And being a fan for a long time doesn’t mean he’s not casual. I’ve been a casual UNC fan for over 35 years, because my family are all UNC fans

I mean, Donte and Dante are the same name just spelled different. Like Jonathan and Johnathan.

One T away from the same name as the CB we traded away lol

Nah. Probably not keeping 7 receivers. Same plan but minus Brown. That’s our 6. Use the money on defense, maybe a TE. I dunno what’s available.

Yea no, use our picks. No trading back for just some warm bodies. We have players, we need more good players.

Sydney Sweeney is so incredibly hot.

I would assume we take one in the 2nd if a stud is available this year, if not they’ll be looking at one next year after assessing Corbett this year.

It was reported that Corbett is moving in to C. Dunno if that was rock solid, but it’s all I’ve seen so far.

Insider? We’ve only had one or two of those throughout the years here. I forget their name but there was someone dropping nuggets here the past couple years that turned out to actually be reliable.

Good signing. Our DL is gonna be nasty and make it easier for the less than star studded pass rushing group.

Gutted? We lost Burns (sucks but we pretty much knew he was gone), Luvu (sucks but we get Shaq back so doesn’t hurt quite as much as simply losing our starting MLB), Bell (not much of a loss, was hurt and didn’t exactly live up to expectations) and YGM (no loss). With FA and the draft and another year in the system the defense might not be as bad as the chicken littles think.

I know different people say different things so one can’t be attributed to the same people as the other, but jfc for years we’ve whined as a collective that we haven’t provided our QBs with a sufficient OL (at least as far back as Cam’s first couple years), and now we are investing heavily in the OL and some are still whining? Did you think we were going to get top tier Gs for cheap? Did you think we have enough draft picks to ensure that at least two of them turn into top tier Gs? Corbett to C is risky, sure, but he’s a good player. Two rock solid Gs will improve the play of all 5 guys on the OL. These two investments could easily pay dividends on putting Icky back on the right track he was on his rookie year, extending Moton’s career as a good RT and making it easier for Corbett to transition to C. We MAY have just fixed the OL issue. And with that, we may have fixed any potential need for a RB. Average RBs can put up great numbers behind a great OL. And with THAT we may have given Bryce (or whoever we get next year) a chance to play not terrible by having a run game the defense has to consider and an OL that gives him even more time to make his decisions since it takes him so long. Another solid WR or two and we’re looking at an actual functional offense. Defense lost a couple good players in Burns and Luvu, but Shaq will be back next year (not that he’s as good as Luvu) so Luvu’s loss isn’t a 100% subtraction from the defense. YGM was just a warm body, easily replaceable. The defense isn’t gutted and hopefully these moves have given them the money to resign Brown because he’s our real star on defense, with Horn if he can stay healthy.

100%. Playing revisionist history like that always dumb imo. If we don’t trade CMC, it changes everything that comes after. If we do trade Burns to the Rams, it changes everything that comes after. Jesus, it’s almost like none of these people saw the Ashton Kutcher classic “Butterfly Effect”.

I mean that’s not even factual. It’s considering a trade we didn’t make as a trade, which is stupid. Almost as stupid as the sum of the trades and trade refusals in hindsight.

Doubt he’ll be that cheap. He played solid down the stretch for the 49ers. He’ll probably resign with them

Not mad about losing YGM. Wouldn’t have wanted to match that contract for him.

Oof, 2nd and 5th sucks

I know it’s just fantasy football, but what if it was burns and #33 for #6 and their second next year? Think they’d go for that? Would you guys be happy with that? It would put one of those top two WRs in reach…

Of course that’s what they say. No one wants to admit they were completely wrong about a prospect until it’s undeniable and they run out of excuses to make. I hope Bryce can turn it around, but I’m ready to admit I was wrong that he would also be good (even though I was adamant Stroud would be significantly better) and that injury concerns were greater than the accuracy concerns I had.

If 33 is our first pick and we spend it on defense I ***** riot.

Luvu has been playing great for three years now. Burns was on the opposite side for one of those.
