Give up a 2015 1st round pick for franchise WR?

[Evengelion]

Watching the Panthers season unfold, we're wildly over-performing with the possibility of being not only the #2 team overall but #1 overall if we get a couple of breaks. All this success might all go to waste and come to an abrupt end in the playoffs because of the lack of talent in the WR position. The only thing holding us back is the WR corps. If we had a Sammy Watkins or Mike Evans on this roster I don't see how any other team in the NFC would be favorite to beat us.

 

This year we're selecting in the mid to late 20s in the draft and those days of selecting ROY candidates in the draft are gone. Our days of building through the draft is now gone because we're a playoff team our 1st rounds picks are glorified 2nd round picks. We're now the NE of the NFC, we beat teams methodically. We thrash bad teams, wear good teams down with Cam waiting at the clutch. But this is not sustainable as young team.

 

Would it be a good idea to give up a 2015 glorified 2nd round pick to move up to get our franchise WR. We really need it.

[Mr. Scot]

I'd rather use our 2014 first round pick to draft one.

Free agent WRs tend to not live up to their hype (Peerless Price, for example).

[Doyle]

No.  Do you think we won't have holes to fill in 2015?

[SuperJTheGreat]

yes.

[PhillyB]

no

[RoaringRiot]

Hurney? Is that you?

[IamSoClutch]

We will get either Allen Robinson of Kelvin Benjamin in the bottom of the first. The class is deep so luckily an option will likely be there

[AceBoogie]

Well you guys pretty much know I'd give my left arm to get a talented WR.

This Draft is Deep at WR's so even as late as we will be drafting we can easily get a Talented #1 WR where we will be sitting,  and possibly even get a guy in the 3rd talented enough to be a stud #2 (granted we fill the other holes in the 2nd and FA)  would love to be able to move Smitty to the slot.

[Darth Biscuit]

No.

 

Use what we have, don't trade the future.

[Mr. Scot]

One thing I think we can feel fairly certain about: Dave Gettleman is not going to trade away future first rounders.

That practice left the building with Marty Hurney.

I like Moncrief a lot, I think he will be a stud in this league

[j2sgam]

 

Think we should be good regardless of how late we pick... I think Ginn will be back, maybe Donald too, we'll see if Gettleman goes HogMolly or skill position...

Prices' best year was only 1200 yards and its the only year he ever went over 1000 people were way to high on him anyways
