If they were going to make a move, I was on team-DB over pass-rusher. Two 1st-rounders is huge, but he's arguably CB1 in the league (I'm really surprised he was on the table at all) and he's under contract for 4-years and I think I heard his bonuses are already paid.(?)

Add that to Ward's 3-years, Moore for at least another year, Walley coming back on a rookie deal and it's a little less jarring of a price-tag.

I think this is now five 1st-rounders Ballard has traded away.

I agree. The pressures have been there. Lou likes to play more DBs than LBs, so this move makes a lot of sense for his scheme.

Apparently, Gardner is taking Downs 1#, I no longer approve of this trade, that number was perfect for Josh "First" Downs.

Downs switching to #2, same as his brother at Ohio St.

By the way... I can't remember a position group being both this badly beaten up and also attacked by the front office this hard with moves to give the DC what he wants.

CB room has been in flux all year.

Sure we over paid. But who will give a shit, if it leads to multiple long playoff runs, a top 5 defense and perhaps 1 or 2 SB's?

Carlie has definitely been a difference maker.

Get Ward back and keep him healthy, Walley back in the fold next year. We have a legit backend that will give offensive coordinators nightmares. Cross and Bynum at safety and it frees Lou up for some creative defensive schemes. I am here for it.

If he plays at all pro level it isn't an overpay. He is young, we have him on a decent contract (for us anyway) until 2030. You going to play and beat Mahomes, you better be able to cover. Good CB play opens up Anarumo's playbook also. It is just two first rounders. I can't get upset-I have seen us give two first rounders for Fredd Young

I coulnd't agree more. The new owners bring a new attitude, a winning attitude. Wonder how much leeway Ballard had before vs. now. I also wonder who initiated the conversation for Gardner. Love the new owners!
