Can you name the 1 Offensive Tackle on our roster that was actually drafted?

Right not we have 7 total.

 

Byron Bell- Undrafted

Nate Chandler- Undrafted

Gary Williams - Undrafted

Kevin Hughes- Undrafted

Oscar Johnson- Undrafted

Andrew Mcdonald- Undrafted

 

Travis Bond- 7th round pick in 2013 of the Vikings...214 overall.

 

This isn't a bitching thread because we all already know what we have at Tackle, just found this to be damn interesting. We have to be the only team in the NFL without at least 3 drafted tackles.

Drafting tackles is not the issue. It is getting GOOD tackles that is the issue. Gettlemen obviously felt that none of the tackles after the first round were good enough for protecting Cam. So what will he do. He will use free agency to go after tackles. That are already proven. Not unknowns. It makes perfect sense to me. He knows that Cam Newton is our QB and that a QB needs to be protected in order for them to succeed. If Cam fails, Gettleman will be the first one out the door. Trust me.

If he does not address it in FA. It means he is content with are our current O-line. I will continue to trust Gettleman. Until we start losing. People need to get off this Marty Hurney syndrome (not talking to you directly, know you have been on this board for years). Where they think if we have a need that means we must get a player in typical fashion (drafting them or signing them). We have to believe in our coaches. We have no clue if Byron Bell or Nate Chandler will make deep strides this year. My main premise is that if Gettleman got us to 12-4 last year with scrubs at CB,WR, and O-line, he has a plan to address the o-line. I am not going to stress over it because of that. He is not Marty Hurney. I look at results. Don't care how he gets our players. If they are good don't care if they went in the 10000th round or we pay 5 cents for them. Can they do their job? That is all that matters to me. I did not like any of the tackles in this draft after the first round. Too many health concerns or lack of upside. So why should Gettleman invest a high pick, if he think the guy will not be on the team in four years? That is just my perspective. What do you think?

i expect him to fix the problem and improve the offensive line. i expect him to value the need enough to do what it takes to make it better.

i expect problems to be fixed. not ignored.

i'm not asking for perfect, i'm asking for better and at least an effort. i'm asking to be proactive in addressing it, rather than the passive route we take.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
