The problem with filling holes after cuts discussion

There is some chatter every season to pickup talent that a majority seems to think will outperform what we currently hold on our roster. The popular skills gap that a large enough voice from the fanbase want replacement players for these positions.

 

SS

LT

WR2

 

And to a smaller degree

 

CB

PR

OT Depth

 

The main thing people seem to forget is there are always many teams looking for upgrades at the same positions. I cringe when I hear "No worries, we will fix up these holes by watching the waiver wire after final cuts. First there is a system to be learned so that player even if naturally more gifted then who he is replacing will take and unknown amount of time to become a better quality starter. Another obvious problem is not all recently cut free agents will decide the Panthers is the team for them to continue their career with.

 

I guess you could get into a "The answer is already on your roster" point of view, but sometimes talent can be found by offering draft picks if you really feel one positions is gonna completely derail our season. The only player I view as trade worthy to ensure we aquire the services of would be Roo's. Keeping in mind my previous point that it will take him time to show more than Bell or Chandler. Is he that much better then both our projects that we will have to deal with more cap issues, and sacrifice a draft pick for?

 

How about WR's or any of the other positions that we have concerns at? Is there anyone worth trading for rather then developing our own talent? I agree with the huge concern of a starting SS caliber player, but im in the miniority that I would rather slug it out with a Harper and .... Godfrey filling the gap atleast for one more season at the SS position.

 

Summary,

Any players worth trading draft picks for the replace our current starters/depth?

Anyone so detrimental to the team as a starter that will derail our season?

Anyone else agree better odds to play serviceable players and fill the holes in the draft and free agency with a offseason to prepare?

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
