All predraft and during draft trades. Discusses our trade with the Rams for Funchess
The Picks: Panthers select: Devin Funchess (41). Rams select: Rob Havenstein (57), Sean Mannion (89) and Bud Sasser (201).
Q&A: No. 1 pick Jared Goff on playing in L.A., Carson Wentz, more
by Ben Baskin The Early Returns: Funchess was supposed to be a complementary piece to Kelvin Benjamin not a replacement. Benjamin’s August knee injury shifted the expectations some, which is part of why Funchess’ numbers (31 catches for 475 yards and five TDs) came off as underwhelming. He did close strong, with all of those touchdowns occurring from Week 8 on.
Havenstein, taken 16 picks later, turned out to be one of the draft’s biggest steals. His work paving the way for Todd Gurley more than offsets that the Rams essentially punted their two extra picks. Sasser, forced into retirement by a heart condition, joined the team’s front office.
The Winner (So Far):Los Angeles. Havenstein would be a starting RT for a huge chunk of teams, including the Panthers, who were undone off the edges during their Super Bowl loss
