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.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
