If fans were running the team at this point, we'd likely have already traded our second for Brandon Marshall, our third for Anquan Boldin and our fourth for Jason Campbell. Thus, we'd be looking at going into next week with our first pick not coming until the sixth round.

If I wanted a front office that went that route, I'd be a Redskin fan.

No doubt Marshall wasn't worth the contract he got and I wouldn't waste a pick on Campbell (FA maybe). Boldin was older so that was a reasonable pass. But Holmes I just can't understand passing on him. Even with his 4 game suspension it would be worth a 5th (value- 6th this year 5th next) to me.

I can understand the lack of movement on a very shallow FA pool but that should be more of a reason to take a very small chance (5th round) on a Super Bowl MVP coming off a 1300 yard season.

Forgot about Holmes. That'd be yet another pick gone (but we didn't have that round).

The thing about a guy in Holmes' spot is that it isn't the current suspension you have to worry about. It's the potential next one.

But then, as mentioned before, the Panthers have balked on guys with far fewer character concerns than Holmes. he was never a realistic option.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
