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

[TheRumGone]

no. too many holes. we have to try and be as well rounded as possible. Cam can mask some WR deficiencies.

 

but im not saying don't draft a WR in the bottom of the first round. in fact i expect it.

Depending on the severity of Smith's injury the team might have to move up in the first round to get one that they feel can come in and be a number 1 WR. I think they need to draft a few anyways because Smith is the only one on contract after this season, but if he's seriously injured then there really isn't a healthy WR going into next season on the roster.

And the thing is most have him going in the 3rd round range, this WR class is being projected that deep and not That many people will be snatching up WR's.  Luckily for us WR is our biggest need.  Could possibly get a #1 WR and still get a shot at grabbing him as your #2/3 in the 3rd.   Benjamin and Mocrief with Smitty in the Slot is my wish list.  Cam gets sacked a lot but has some solid time and scrambles to get more not many teams would be able to blanket a trio like that for a coverage sack.

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

Nah brah

God no. Pick up a big time WR in FA this year if there is one we can get for a good price. The 2015 draft is gonna be big for us for depth purposes. This coming draft will fix the holes in our offense (hopefully), so we're gonna need our 2015 picks.

Panthers would be absurdly good if we could pull that off

 

Damn I really hope Gettleman has that in mind, That wake forest kid (Campanaro) would be a good late round pick as a slot wr for the future

That's how QBs start pressing and become injury prone. This team need a face at WR. I watch SF draft Jenkins late in the 2012 draft, he's already on his way out of the league. Late rounders are too hit or miss. We need a sure thing to make this team a superbowl contender. A prolific offense can make up for so many holes. Those FGs we've been kicking lately could all be TDs.

No, id rather take my chances with whatever Gettleman has cooked up. He has pretty much played it smart so far. BPA at pick 32!!! We don't have many holes, but we don't need to trade away 1st, 2nd, or 3rd rounders. Unless there is a legite, hands down, Calvin Johnson type receiver... then no.

We have a decent OL. Many of the sacks came by WRs not getting open and teams can play man-to-man press coverage on us at will. A franchise WR would force them to play zone and waste a spy on Cam.

Let's see.... Gettleman the GM, does not trade away picks, has a penchant for finding contributors in every round (Cruz), and has already shown he has the faculties to put us in the championship race.

Short answer: No

[ncfan]

The wake kid is good but what would rather just lock up Ginn and use the late pick on something else OL, DB. RB, etc.

 

Ginn has been solid.  Best returner we've had since Smitty was back there, and even though he has had a ton of Drops, but also had some Big catches and is improving.  Keep him waiting under the wings still learning under Smitty until he retires in a few years, then he can jump in the slot spot.

Panthers would be absurdly good if we could pull that off

it really depends on whom you're talking, but generally no.

 

I mean if it got us Megatron, lol, then yes.  but there's no way it would, so... No.

 

I don't think it's a good idea to trade future 1st/2nd rounders for prospects unless you are absolutely sure on them.  I don't know, I'd rather draft where we can and get that extra player.

I refer to our late 1st round as a glorified 2nd round.
