Exactly, I still think we target one. Yet it gives us the ability NOT too if there's a better defensive prospect.

We are setting it up to actually go BPA at 39.  I like it.  I'm hoping a CB falls if not a top edge/OLB or ILB is a possibility. We end up with combo of Stround/young then a Jack Campbell/ Forbes im ecstatic.

excellent job by fitterer. Hopefully we can spend some on CB and ILB (maybe wagner or someone proven to be an instant difference maker)

I believe these FA signings have showed us that Carolina has bought 2 years to find the future at TE and WR. Hurst and Thielen are on the wrong side of 30 and are a temporary fix....though will be productive here for the next couple of seasons.

We've got the next two offseasons to figure out our WR1 and TE1 of the future. 

Hurst is like 29...lol

Chark deal shows we either gonna see if he's healthy enough for an extension after the season or we'll def be in the market for a WR in the draft.  The 1 year deal doesn't resolve the need in my eyes.

The transition tag for a WR this off-season was $17,991,000. 
 

If Chark shows he’s capable of being a WR1 and we can’t strike a long term deal, he seems a perfect candidate for the transition tag. If someone gives him a contract offer we don’t want to match, we receive two 1sts for a one year rental with a significant injury history.

Agree. And with at least four qbs going in the first round somebody has to drop. Will be a nice spot for a team that could take edge, lb, cb, te, or wr.

No chance. While we don’t have a clear stud WR1, we now have too much good talent at WR to trade any more draft capital for the position. Better off drafting another one late in the draft and developing him than trading more assets for an another WR on the wrong side of 30.

What if the trade is TMJ and a 4th for Hopkins and Cards take some of the salary hit in 2023?

I don’t see giving up draft capital and a young WR we can hopefully develop into a starting WR for Hopkins. Would I be opposed to the trade? No. But I don’t think that’s how you build

For this upcoming season, I think Chark, Thielen, Hurst, TMJ and LS are ‘good enough’.  I would spend some of the remaining cap on the defense, to acquire a quality ILB, NT or 5 tech.  If we could get one of the these three that could be a quality starter or part of regular rotation, I’d be down with that.

I guess I should add a CB to the above shopping list.

While I have not researched his back injury, Shaq Griffin might be a nice addition to the CB group.  He is 27, has been successful, and can't ask for bags of money following a year in which he spent most of the 2022 season on IR.  Jax tried to trade him, no takers, so they cut him.

I'd hope we'd kick the tires--that is about all I know.

I like your thinking.  Extra pudding for you.
