We absolutely need defense. I'm not saying don't go offense if the top player on our board when we draft is TMac, but our overall strategy must be to rebuild the D. Look at how Washington was able to rebuild in a single year... Now we need to.

Washington definitely improved their defense via FA. Mostly our guys. They just use them correctly. 

But they already had weapons and a great RB. They've just been in HC and QB purgatory since RG3.

I miss Luvu, haha.  Chinn too, but really we hadn't used him well since his rookie year.

Perfect offseason.

Trade down: Get Emeka Egbuka and additional 2nd for our 1st.

Trade current second for AJ Brown. 
 

That takes our WR corp from arguably worst in the league to possibly a top 10 unit with two moves. 
 

2nd Round: Jack Sawyer

IDC after that. If we have Egbuka, Sawyer, AJ Brown after day 1-2 I’m happy. 
 

FA: Austin Eckler, Dre Greenlaw, Hasson Reddick

These are likely low(er) cost FA with high upside. Kind of medium risk, high reward possibilities. This is also assuming Derrick Brown and Shaq can come back healthy. Which..if they can’t the defense is terrible anyway.

No way to validate this idea which makes it someone’s guess more than likely.   I said Garrett Wilson and 42 for 8.  Have to be sure he will sign here cuz he wants to be paid soon

I could almost bite on this one. They say the Edge is a deep class and 42 would most likely give us a good edge player. At 57 we take BPA defensive player. However, I seriously doubt NYJ would bite unless Wilson was going to hold out and demand a trade.

In no world would the Eagles give us Brown for our 2nd when there 100% would be teams out there who would give them their 1st for him.

He turns 28 soon and just signed an extension through his prime, someone like the Chargers would absolutely give them their 1st this year for him.  And even if not that, I could see the Patriots giving them their 2nd which would be well before ours, or a whole bunch of other teams who need WR help, that Rams 2nd is going to be late.

the OP has names like Kennan Allen, Chris Godwin, etc. in it.  I don't not consider those dudes to be true #1s in the year 2025.   I don't want to invest draft stock into old WRs who presently aren't even #1s.  That doesn't project out to be an answer for us.  That's a rental.

It really just depends on the WR and the compensation. If we're talking a third rounder or later I'm much more likely to pull the trigger. If it's pick 8 overall it has to be a certified WR1 not a WR 1B or a WR 2. Teams just don't make those available, esp after the titans fuged up the AJ brown trade.

The goal is to win football games. Lacking a true #1 receiver is not why this team lost, and it’s not even close. Defense still does win championships 

defense doesn't win you games. it helps you keep from losing games you should win, which is what happened here the last half of the season.

the first half of the season we never stood a chance either way.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
