I hated Notre Dame LT Ronnie Stanley 6'5" 315lbs, decided to stay in school. Stanley was rated one of the top 5 OT's in the early 2015 draft report by WalterFootBall.Com. He would have been a good selection for us, or if someone drafting before us selected him, it would have let another good OT fall down to us.

We had some mixed results with Geoff Schwartz as a 7th round pick out of Oregon. He surprised us with how well he played then couldn't stay healthy. Ended up signing some nice contracts in other cities and still couldn't stay healthy.

But the injuries are not relevant. The fact a tackle from this wonky offense had success in the pros is. What I like about an Oregon tackle, they are used to the no huddle. They are conditioned to run it. And they are used to getting to the line quickly and processing their responsibilities. I like that he is only 300lbs. It's been our experience big lineman don't stay healthy with the exception of Byron Bell. Even he battled injuries this year. Even Star broke his foot in practice simply by stepping on someone.

Im a little torn.

I want a solid vet. a FA who comes in and is solid right away.

I have no clue whos on the market though.

But i also want a LT in the draft that will grow with Newton and have chemistry. Only downside is thre is going to be almost like waiting period until hes up to par.

Hmmmm

It's such a crap shoot. The Packers drafted Bullaga as a stud late in the first. They got Bhaktiari in the 4th. Bhaktiari plays LT as a rookie due to injuries and hasn't lost the job since. We always think we know but we never do.

I think we wont go Oline in the first two unless a stud falls. We have some cash I have a feeling we go through FA and take a shot at late round guys.

Im at the point with gettleman where no mayter who he picks and where im excited about it.

Two key rookie starters on O as two UFDAs? Money

I'd take him in the third, absolutely. Maybe even the second. To get a starting OT

in the second works just fine for me.

just because the line gelled at the end of the year doesn't mean we don't need

upgrades at BOTH tackle positions. I'd love to see him and Remmers fight it out

in camp.

One thing you can bet. Gettleman will not pick a player in a round higher than he is rated. If he is rated a 3rd or 4th. Gettleman won't take him in the second. Gettleman does not like to reach.

Was injured early in the Ducks season, and it had a negative effect on the team. Mariotta was sacked 12 times while he was out. The whole Oregon offense showed a marked improvement when he came back. That speaks volumes to me.

Fisher missed 2 games this season with a leg injury, and the Ducks surrendered 12 sacks in those games; they gave up 19 in the other 13 games combined.

2 games without Fisher: 12 sacks allowed (6.00 per game)

13 games with Fisher: 19 sacks allowed (1.46 per game)

Want.

 

Right now, Fisher and Jaelen Strong are 1a and 1b on my wish list at #25.  I'm leaning slightly toward Fisher just because I think a legit LT would be a HUGE difference maker for our team.  But, I think Strong is a Dez Bryant clone, so I'd be just fine with that too.

 

Those were who I wanted in 1 and 2.  

 

Strong in the 1st

 

Fisher in the 2nd.

 

Rest of the draft would just be gravy.  

 

Now I don't know that either of those two will be available at 25.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
