Exactly!!! I like Higgins  but this is a wr rich draft and Higgins will command a lil coin in this market. Pair Bryce (who has to show improvement) or a new qb next year with a young wr stud. 

We just got rid of our major cap headache and just got a top 2nd round pick. STOP WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD, DAN!  Don't trade for Higgins.  Don't do it, man.

If you are tanking, embrace the tank.  Half measures are EXACTLY how we got to this point!

You have to give Bryce proven weapons and protection, in order to truly evaluate him. You can’t count pick 33 as a proven anything.

No, you don't.  If Bryce is worth anything, he should be able to prove it.  Just shore up the OL and give him some skill players.  They don't have to be top 10 in their position group.

Trading away the draft capital we just acquired would be peak Fitterer.

Precisely.  Would be a monumentally stupid move.  I'm waiting to judge Morgan, but that's a move that we could instantly pan.  Would be awful.

This desire to gets Higgins is mind boggling to me.  He is aight, but I am firmly in the camp of not ever being that blown away and he doesn't really fit what we need.  He is in no way shape or form worth that type of capital.

I mean, Hollywood Brown and a 3rd got the Ravens the 23rd pick.  

Just no.

Don't like it. Pass.  Take a WR at #33 which is essentially a late 1st rounder.

Do you by any chance know our draft history of taking WR's in the 2nd round. Spoiler Alert it's not very good. I'd be ok giving up pick 39 if we were able to get Higgins to sign a fair long term deal but if he's asking for top tier WR 1 money then yea I'm out and would rather roll the dice in the draft.

I'm very aware of our 2nd round draft pick history at WR.  However, it's #33, a new GM and a loaded draft class at WR.  I'll take that over an injury prone dude and the offensive version of the guy we just traded to the Giants.  Again, we ain't winning much next year.  No need in screwing up our future cap for 1-2 more wins in 2024 by signing an overpriced WR.  Signing Higgins isn't worth it.  There will be a solid WR at #33, we just have to pick the right one.

Higgins isn't even a #1 WR. He's a star #2. He's not even in the top 20.

The only way its good is if they take the picks from the Burns trade and he signs a decent deal.

Then we hit on a #1 WR in the draft.

We cant just get Higgins sign him to a massive deal and think we are set at WR.

Just imagine how fast he'll get fed up with Bryce trying to get him the ball. He'll want out after one season.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
