Okonkwo is the better option

Well that’s why I am hoping they sign Decker or Walker. Then you can resign a guy like Nijman or draft a guy in the 6th or 7th for depth. That leaves you to take a Center in 1-3 to work with Fortner

My in laws are all Saints fans and they liked Fortner. Not physical but good in pass pro

They will sign another Tackle. Dan has said they will go into the draft without holes. The question will be: 1) Do they sign a Christensen or Nijman back and target a tackle in rounds 1-2. 2) Do they get a Walker or Decker and draft a guy in 5-7 for depth.

I think that would be a good fit. Lewis has a higher upside than Hunt. I think if Hunts contract gets too heavy, this would be a good option.

I would watch Rachaad White and Ethan Pocic. Both have worked with Canales before

Need somebody to track who these players are following. Lloyd, Phillips were all reportedly being followed by Panthers on social media. A few other names I have ran across with recent follows: Taylor Decker, Rachaad White

I personally would sign Pocic because he can atleast function at Center plus Dave and Dan are familiar from Seattle. Draft a Center Day 2 to develop. But right now for LT I would bring back Nijman on a cheap deal and try to get Walker or Decker in here tomorrow.

Im interested to see if we go after a guy like Walker or Decker for LT and then draft Center or do we resign Nijman and go for a LT in the first round and sign a guy like Pocic or Jenkins at C. Either way, we need to plug some holes before the draft.

We have plenty of room. If we max out restructures we are at 80,000,000. Kaye reported earlier than Dan is only going to restructure what he spends, rather than restructuring more than he needs. But yes we do need to go ahead and get the ball rolling on some of that.

Now let’s fix the OL before we actually have to start Pickett

Per me and Juan

We got Lloyd

It’s done 3 years/45 million and 25 guaranteed

I wonder if O’Connell could fix Zach Wilson

I’m more interested to see what Arizona does. I can’t really see any of the above landing there

I mean I guess it could happen, O’Connell tends to prefer statues.

If we restructure Moehrig, Hunt, Brown, Horn and cut Jones, Dalton (Post 6/1) and Robinson, it’s like 74 million in cap space. I did it on sport trac the other day.

Unpopular Opinion: I would rather just sign Leo Chenal or Kaden Elliss and move on to OL rather than overpay for Lloyd in some type of crazy bidding war.

Keep in mind his Passer rating is 78.2 and Bryce Young’s is 80.9. He is basically taller Bryce Young. But yes. He does find a way to win games.

Here’s a scenario I can see happening- we are the Panthers after all. Bryce plays a few games, gets injured/out for season. Pickett comes in and plays rest of season. Plays at about the same level as Bryce. Huge and exhausting offseason debate next year about what to do with Bryce, Pickett, or starting over with somebody else.

So looking over a spreadsheet I made, just about everyone has their “guy” at QB only real question marks left are: -Raiders (Likely Mendoza) -Browns (Likely Watson or Sanders) -Cardinals (No clue) -Jets (No clue) -Steelers (Supposedly Rodgers is coming back) -Minnesota (Maybe competition for JJ) However the QB pool for guys who can start or at least function at QB looks like this: -Kyler Murray: Doesn’t really fit anywhere. Left the Cardinals/Don’t fit Reich or McCarthy’s scheme at all. -Kirk Cousins: Could see him going to NY, Pit, or AZ. Not a long term solution. -Andy Dalton: Likely to be released or traded. Could see him reuniting with Reich or backing up JJ since McCown is there, that’s about it. -Jamies Winston: I imagine he will be back in New York backing up Dart. -Justin Fields: Hard to see him competing anywhere -Zach Wilson: Also hard to see him competing anywhere. Don’t think Davis Mills or Mac Jones are going anywhere. So will be interesting to see how all these pieces land.

I imagine we will get 1 more tonight and then probably nothing else until in the morning.

Yall are overreacting a bit. Is the offense really going to look that much different with Pickett? No. The answer is no. Pull up the Pickett highlights they are identical.

One of the best 2.5 games and then disappeared
