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

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.

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.

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.

      Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
