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.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
