Which is why a WR in this draft class should be considered a need. 

We can tag DJ for his fifth year. But Anderson will want more money and if we don't want to put to much money in the position group we can either sign jags or draft a guy. 

I would prefer a 4-5 rounder but taking someone in the 3rd or 6th would be fine.

I hear you but I just have doubts we end up with that high of a pick again. We blew it two years in a row. 2019 we lost what half a dozen games in a row and couldn't sniff a top 5 pick? Last year we had the 3rd about locked up and Plaxico'd ourselves in the foot beating a hapless WFT. My feeling is with Teddy we will again be just mediocre enough to miss the top 10.

Don't doubt Teddy...he could easily get us a top 10 pick.

The days of keeping all your drafts picks is becoming a nightmare.  When teams start paying skilled a good portion of the cap they are ruining the team concept.  I think unless you have a very creative GM, you'll lose your young talent.  

For us, CMC and soon DJ and followed by Burn, Chinn and others.  You just can't pay top dollar for all these players and still fill an adequate roster. 

I think in today's league Rounds 1 thru 4 are critical to maintaining success.  Keeping on the super core players.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
