No, I hear your logic and get it. But I just personally think parting ways  would make sense now if we can get a first. To be honest, I don't believe in drafting RBs in the first so I guess almost by default I feel like getting a 1st for one is never a BAD trade. CMC is definitely much more than just a RB though. But by the time we are competing again I feel like his best days will be well behind him

Definitely agree on his positional value and understanding he’s much more than just a RB. Hoping we find a way to make it work that allows him to stay in Carolina and protect his health going forward. He’s everything a franchise wants in a player in regards to character, ability, work ethic, and promotion.

So a team that would view him as a missing piece would probably own a late first like a Buffalo or San Fran. Say we get their first and a starting LB for CMC. Then we draft Cross at 6 and a QB like Howell/Willis/Corral with our later first. How would people feel about this? Especially if we grab a OG in FA.  Potentially Cross, Norwell, Elf, Brown/BC, Moton with a young QB in waiting…

Still not that high on this year's QBs.

Now if we got a guy like Cross at 6 and used a later pick on someone like Linderbaum... 🤔

and that is probably part of the problem.

The good teams that might look at CMC are probably drafting at the end of the round.  They probably don't want to give up a 1st but their 2nd is too late to entice us, hence the reason you hear about us wanting a 1st, very good chance someone has already offered a 2nd.

At this point everyone is just trying to bluff each other.  If I'm Buffalo and I'm thinking win now I could make the argument that CMC has a bigger chance of helping me get over the hump than any player I can pick at 25.  

Same could be said about Green Bay, with the contract they just gave Rodgers they are definitely looking to win now.  CMC or a rookie at 28?  Who helps more next year?

I get people thinking 6 is a reach for one, but in the mid/late 20s after repairing some of our OL problems. That might be about right actually…

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
