Here is the dilemma: 1. Do you trade for a player entering his fourth year if you agree to offer him a new contract, something you can do after 3 years of playing on a rookie contract? If so, to avoid sending a first rounder for a "one and done" You will have to pay Wilson approximately $100m on a 4 year deal and lose your 2025 first round draft pick. Wilson has been over 1000 yards each season. 2. Chris Godwin is 29, but before his 2024 (injured some) season, had several 1000 yard seasons. His salary will not exceed $25m per, according to the internet, which is always accurate. With Godwin, you get a player less likely to evolve into a #1 than Wilson during the contract, and his play will likely decline slightly each year over the contract. I imagine a 3-year deal at about $70m would be the range. However, to get Godwin, you have to compete with other teams, sell the Panthers, and possibly overpay. You do not, however, lose a draft pick. 3. Would we give away our first rounder and pay top dollar for a WR if we thought Legette might develop into the #1? I know a lot of you feel that he sucks, but as an athlete, his is elite. WR skills need to be developed. We all knew he was raw when we drafted him. We saw Legette at his floor--but we do not know his ceiling. He has a long way to go, but if they can develop him like they did Bryce, Cade, Zavala etc. are we "giving up" on XL? Most NFL players claim to grow the most between years 1 and 2. Is the answer to sign a lower-level free agent WR--like KJ Osborn--who averaged about 650 yards per season in Minnesota with AT and Jefferson--He is 27, and would improve the WR room--at a cost of about $5m per season. This seems like the "Panther way" and I worry that we get stuck in mediocrity by our GM decisions--but you build through the draft. In other words, I have no idea. -

As a GM of a team that was abysmal on defense I wouldn't draft him at 8. But, I do understand the logic if he's the best player on the board. If Warren turns out to only be "really good" he'd be better than anyone we've fielded at TE this decade and would undoubtedly help Bryce in the passing game. I could only see doing that if we had already acquired a starter (or 2) in FA prior to the draft & used every mid round (2-5) pick on the best available defensive players on the board.
