Does Carolina Pass up on Offensive Tackle at 25?

[Byrdman4real]

I wouldn't be surprised if a DE is the first pick

[Kuech the Sneak]

Really truly depends on who is on the board when were on the clock

Will be best player available, DG won't be picking a guy that he isn't 100% comfortable with.

[WOW!!]

Dj Humphries might be a name to put on the list.. He is going to blow up at the combine and increase his stock...

Lots of guys who have a T beside their name, but not one of them can start at LT in his first season.

I could see multiple scenarios where we pass on OT in the 1st.  Very possible in Gettleman's eyes there ends up being only 2 or 3 OTs worth a 1st in this draft and they're gone.  If someone like Kevin White, that Parker WR (haven't done my own research on him, but I hear he's getting buzz), Landon Collins, Shaq Thompson (another guy getting buzz, I don't quite get it yet but I need to see more) or another guy at a position of need that's rated higher than the OTs is available Gettleman won't take the lower rated guy just because we so desperately need a LT.  As crazy as it may sound, this is a draft I could actually see us trading back up into the late 1st or early 2nd if there's a guy available we love.  If, for example, we take one of the non-OTs I just mentioned at 25 but there's an OT available at 31 or 35 or something that Gettleman didn't like better than our guy at 25 but still thinks very highly of I could see us sending next year's 1st to go get him.  I know it sound like crazy talk, but this is the first year in a while I could see it actually happening.

Sorry, every OT in the draft will be gone by #25.

[Swaggasaurus]

We will pick one of those guys unless Landon Collins is a available. I could also see us picking Shaq Thompson.

For sure.  Jeremiah already has him going at like 17 in his latest mock.

If there's an OT on the board at #25 that Gettleman believes is a starting caliber NFL LT, we're taking him. I think you can just about take that to the bank.

Keep in mind that Gman took like one tackle in the 12 yrs he was with the Giants in the first round. Most were after the 3rd

In last year's presser he pointed out that there were five tackles the Panthers considered first round worthy (all of whom were gone before we picked).

TJ Clemmings? He is raw and needs to work on his technique but he can develop in to a pretty good player with experience.
