hes the epitome of an average wr

I mean, in the world where DJ Moore isn't a #1.....yeah, Higgins is average. 

Higgins IMO is more like a Mushin Muhammad tier WR.  He can do it all a pretty high level.  He just lacks being elite in one area.

His qb is one of the best in the nfl, the #1 wr is one of the best in the nfl and the dude has never cracked 1100 years, gone over 74 catches or caught double digit tds.  He is a good Robin to a Batman.  No way in hell would I give him a mega deal.

Tee Higgins is good but whether or not he will take that next step or a few steps remains to be seen. And isn't he due a new contract by next year?

I'd honestly rather work the draft and take 2 receivers if needed.

Trading for Higgins solves one need though our depth is still kinda meh because TMJ is done and Theilen while having reliable hands was one of the worst receivers in the league in YAC.

Also trading Burns immediately opens the door for Dan Morgan putting himself in a situation of being desperate for pass rush help and I'm not exactly thrilled with the likely scenario of him reaching in the draft or overpaying a free agent. We also have the center position to resolve. This is a lot for a first time GM to take on. It's either going to go really well or really bad. We'll see.

I mean, that's sort of a weird place marker.   They have had 2 guys going over 1000 yards multiple seasons.  So if he had hit 1100 it would be different? I mean, he likely had that if he played all 17 games in 2 of his seasons. 

We also have seen him minus Burrow and seen him without Chase.  Higgins and others like him (say a Waddle) aren't lesser just because someone better happens to be on the team. 

Higgins IMO is a DJ Moore tier WR.   

My personal preference is for every draft pick to be an offensive skill player and go back to back WR with the first two.... and leave FA to the OL.

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
