Carolina really traded it all for this

I can't see a new HC wanting to sign off on sticking with Young. There is nothing there to really hang your hat on. And, they really don't have to saddle themselves to Young with the modern rookie salary cap. Yeah, you made a mistake and might have to give up an asset to reset the draft capital, but it's not the end of the world. I'd probably try to position myself in the middle of the 1st in trading Burns to make a move for Bo Nix... but they might be stupid and stick with Young another year.

A realistic play for them is to use their cap space to get one of the top vets at WR, like Tee Higgins, to give whoever is the young QB a consistent target.

If they do insist on sticking with Young, maybe making a move for a LT in 1 and moving Ekwonu inside to OG is the best strategy. Use your high 2nd on a replacement for Burns at ER, then go get a slot WR or TE in the 3rd.

yeah, if I'm them I'm looking for cornerstone guys that aren't going to immediately win you games. You know you're not going to win enough to get anywhere.

Meaning, a LT, basically. Draft a bunch of OL. Build yourself a wall and try for a QB in '25.

Never mind. Totally spaced that they actually gave up their #1 for that midget.

LOL.

YOU'RE ****ED!
