We could’ve traded 40 and a future high pick to move up for Bresee, while Mayer and Porter were still there.

I’m holding out hope we move up from 40 to get one of those two that we left on the board.
Who’s to say they didn’t try?

Who’s to say any of what you laid out is true? Not trying to be confrontational- it’s just that we always see these hypotheticals in response to picks. “We could have traded back and still gotten that guy…”. “He would have been available in a later round!” Etc…

How do we know that Loomis didn’t burn up the phones to do just that?!?

We don’t know and we likely won’t know.

Sometimes you can’t find a trade partner no matter how hard you try.
 
Bresee is a Jalen Carter level talent that had a rough college career but was still the best talent on that Clemson team.

Yall worried about injuries. He had an ACL. The rest were a kidney infection and a death in the family. Those aren't injury concerns.
 
Bresee (6’5/298) has a monstrous frame, especially when compared to the rest of his interior defensive linemen prospects, where he is second-tallest. He uses this length to effectively keep blockers at arm’s length as he comes out of his stance square to the line. He tends to lean on his body and play leverage to win plays, as his hand leverage is often just a function of his length. With additional refinement, he can become a pocket-pushing pass rusher whether it’s from bulking up and playing the 1-Tech or a power 3-Tech. As of now, he is a plus run defender who can control two gaps from multiple alignments. There are also some concerns about injuries that ended his sophomore season at Clemson early and caused him to miss games his junior year, as well. Nevertheless, defensive tackles with Bresee’s length and a RAS of 9.07 are rare. Former No. 1 overall recruits, as Bresee was in 2020, at the position that racked up nine sacks and five passes defended at that size and pedigree are even rarer.
