TE class is too loaded in the draft this year to spend money on a FA. be smart this year. save the money for next year after our QB has developed for a year. 

Disagree. TE's generally take at least 2-3 years to get up to NFL caliber play. We need a receiving threat NOW. We can't wait for one to possibly, maybe develop. TE is one of the hardest positions to play and the best ones in the league are generally not drafted high. 

Get our rookie a vet TE who knows how to get open and play the position.

A veteran TE is a rookie QBs best friend.  It would be malpractice to draft a QB and give him our current QB room and/or a rookie TE.  I agree, we need to draft a TE, but that doesn't mean we stay away from the position in FA.  Stating the obvious, FA comes before the draft and we can't risk not being in the right spot to draft a TE and miss out entirely.  We don't need to blow a ton of money, a middling guy would suffice.

A trade for Hopkins and we probably back in conversation of winning this division.

You've been smoking something.

I think Hopkins ends up in Cleveland

I'm sensing an Allen Lazard type pickup.  Honestly, would rather angle for a trade at WR and draft a TE.  Unless we REALLY want Schultz or Gesicke, don't think we overspend at either spot.  WR FA class is yikes.     

We may be gunning for Dre'mont Jones or if Shaq isn't fully reworked, could sign Okereke and tell him bon voyage.

Who are we talking to?  Let's get some names before noon folks.  We can make this interesting for bragging rights (that means absolutely nothing).

Something tells me we're going to be seeing that opening phrase a lot in future years

Mike Gesicki is the pass catcher I want them spending on today

WR needs to be addressed through trades. This WR FA class is trash

pretty much this. add one via trade and then hit pass catchers like crazy in the draft.

we should do both. one vet and one draft pick TE.

BPA among all pass catchers for a few rounds after we get our QB.

Panthers are expected to kick the tires on Jakobi Meyers (no rhyme intended). Will depend on his interest and willingness to structure his contract to suit them.
