Higgins lit it up when Chase was inactive if I remember correctly 

I remember thinking, "The panthers should just trade Burns to the Bengals straight up"

However, if I look at this WR draft and think "Which would I rather have/do?":

A. Sign Higgins and pay him what we would have paid Burns (I hear he wants $25m)

B.  Draft a WR with the pick you would have given them and pay him $5m) Use the $20m to sign other players.

I would go with B

Genuinely, why?

We're not a superstar player away from contention. Especially not at WR - we saw how much good McCaffrey did. 

Build the fuging roster. 

You have said this multiple times today.

 

Bro nobody on this site thinks we are a contender. Please stop saying that because it makes you look cray cray!

Now you are making too much sense for this place. I completely agree by the way.

Just wait; have patience. if we miss out on a RB in the draft, then sign one.  By that time any of those dude's still sitting on their couch will be willing to listen to whatever low-ball offer we throw their way.

I will take Foreman back and let's see what he does once again.

Sound strategy…probably would be best

We need  a receiving back. 

We really do. When you have a QB who struggles to throw more than 10-15 yards down the field a receiving back is a key weapon. The irony is that we had the best one in the league before we got fleeced and gave him away and then turned those already meager assets into practically nothing.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
