I don’t think we give up anything for anyone in FA. I think the plan is another OL, WR, DE, and a few more depth pieces in FA than WR and DE in the 2nd. We have the cash to shop around in FA, no need to be trading draft picks away

That's the point, There was talent at #39 and we simply picked the wrong guy.  This isn't like QB, once the top few are gone is a total crap shoot.  You can get solid, REALLY solid WRs into the 3rd round.  Beyond that if you are lucky.  I wanted Rashee Rice over Mingo.  Tank Dell had a great year and was drafted after Mingo.

We drafted Bryce Young and Jonathan Mingo. The Texans drafted CJ Stroud and Tank Dell. 

And...

It is possible that they traded Burns knowing they would use the resources to get Higgins?  It seems as if they are going to give Bryce the best protection and a very solid set of WRs.  Higgins is a #1 X, Thielen is a slot, Mingo is the Z for now.   I think Tremble and Thomas will be the TEs, but there could be a draft pick (Wiley, maybe) or a large WR converted to TE (Claypool, for example). 

Can the defense survive without burns, Jackson, and Luvu?  I think it can if the offense is strong.  We can find 10 sacks, we get Thompson back, and Jackson was hurt a lot anyway.

And I realize that I could bitch about how bad things are, but we have seen the first day of free agency--I am ready to move on and see what we can do.

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

Hard to say with Chase there-but I am also worried that he will not be as good here because Chase was getting the best CBs and S help a lot.  Here there is no Burrow.  So should he be expected to improve as the X?  Yikes--to your point.

Higgins lit it up when Chase was inactive if I remember correctly

I’d be willing to give up a lot for Aiyuk but they ain’t trading him

Genuinely, why?

We're not a superstar player away from contention. Especially not at WR - we saw how much good McCaffrey did. 

Build the fuging roster.

    • 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.
