As a FSU fan I say no. The guy is not worth a first. Not good at tackle or guard really. He really only cam on towards the end of the year at center and even this it was for the final 3 games. He has been a project his whole career moving from DT to LT,guard and finally center. Irving is not a first round talent don't be fooled.

Dunlap would be nice, you gotta think tackle is at the top of the free agent list. Not gonna get a young elite tackle but some good veteran players is good enough

 

I think we'd have to overpay a little bit to get a player like Dunlap.  I'd be OK with that to fill a damned critical gaping hole in our lineup.

 

I would NOT be in favor of overpaying a LOT to get a player like Dunlap.  Nor do I think Gettleman would do such a thing anyway.

I'm glad someone else sees this besides me. Dunlap is the top Tackle in the upcoming Free Agency. There are not many other great options so some team will have to over pay to get him.

This is why if we sign a tackle it will have to be Doug Free or Derek Newton at best. Since there won't be many quality tackle available we would probably still over pay just not as much.

Yup. Flowers will go top15-20.

If we're lucky maybe Peat and even Scherff. Unless Scherff put on a show at the combine I think his stock is dropping.

Scherff stock is dropping because scouts are starting to realize that he is better suited playing inside or at Right Tackle. I'm not so sure if Scherff will go top 10, but i believe he will eventually fall somewhere in the late top 20 range. Things should get very interesting in the upcoming weeks. As a Panthers fan we can't just get hung up on a position of need. I can see WR, CB, Safety, and Defensive line all being in play when we pick.

  • 3 weeks later...

Peter Schrager of FOX Sports had us taking:

Mock 1.0 - T.J. Clemming

Mock 2.0 - La'el Collins

Now his Mock 3.0 is out following the Combine, and he has us taking Cameron Erving of FSU, writing: "This could be a sweet spot for Carolina, as a top-five tackle could slip. ... Erving, a guy willing to play any place along the line — and who did at Florida State...could step in wherever the Panthers need a capable starter next season."

The OL in his latest mock:

#15 Ereck Flowers -- to replace OG Mike Iupati

#16 La'el Collins

#17 The Scherff

#24 Andrus Peat

#25 Erving (PANTHERS)

#32 T.J. Clemmings

I think we go with TJ Clemmingss from Pitt if he's on the board.  Erving doesn't seem like a LT prospect.  Why put a guy from the most important position on the Oline (LT) to a less important position on an oline ©, if he's an elite prospect.  It doesn't add up for me.  Yes, he is versatile, but you don't need your LT to be versatile.. the most value he can possible give you is playing LT.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
