The Panthers are a candidate to trade up for Andrus Peat, DJ Humphries or Cedric Ogbuehi

There is no OT worth trading up for. I think sitting tight at 25 and seeing who is still there will be solid.

I'd puke if we traded up in the first for Ogbuehi. He allowed 7 sacks last season. That is horrible for a 1st round offensive lineman. And add to that his ACL injury i wouldnt touch him in the 1st and i would definitely not move up to grab him.

 

 

This is just one play, but this is a play when he played right tackle 2 years ago.

 

 

This was the final significant play of the Auburn at Texas A&M game from 2013 with Ogbuehi (at right tackle) blocking (or making an attempt at blocking) Dee Ford at left DE.  Now Ford was a damned good college player (and has potential to be in the NFL), but his max playing weight in college was around 240 and he effin' BULL RUSHED Ogbuehi and owned his butt.

 

I have questions about how a guy like that, coming off an ACL injury, is going to handle the best of the NFL rushers who generally come off the right side of the defense against the left OT.  

 

I would have no problem rolling the dice on a guy like Ogbuehi with our 2nd round pick if he was still there.  I would just rather pick a better player at another position if he's the only guy left available in the 1st round.  I think Humphries has more upside and potential at LT than Ogbuehi.

 

Now if that's the pick Gettleman makes then my position would be that he obviously knows a whole lot more about Ogbuehi than I do.  This is just my opinion NOW.

...I'll bet my last pair of nipple shorts this doesn't even come close to happening...

[TheNewStandard]

If we trade up in this draft with the needs we have, i'll be pretty dissapointed

[Panthro]

I'd rather move up in the second...but those are all the T's the Panthers seem to like

[Panthro]

isn't there pretty credible intel that the panthers don't like humphries at all

 

I think the words "dont like at all" and "maybe wasn't as highly rated as others prior to the evalutaions" are pretty interchangeable

We traded up to get Bene. That worked out pretty well.

I should have been more specific. I was thinking 1st round even second. Late rounds are much cheaper.

Supposedly they are high on Flowers as well and don't like Collins. Never seen anything one way or the other on Jake Fisher.

Of course for all we know, the Panthers are leaking their dislike of Collins as a smokescreen and he's the real guy they are targeting.

[Doyle]

I just feel like trading up early is like betting against the house in Vegas. You will always lose in the long run but you can always name examples of when it worked.

Without the injury issues with Humpphries' running mate, Chaz Green (team captain who's played every position on the line,) Chaz grades out higher and can be had in the 6th.

Jake Fisher

 

in.

 

[saX man]

Nothing against Zod because he seems to run a good ship but people are putting way too much stock in what he's been "hearing". 

[juliosantos]

i will commit suercide if we trade up for humpries or ogbuehi in the first , i could understand peat but not humpries or ogbuehi . doubt gettleman will do that 

[heel31ok]

I'd rather move up in the second...but those are all the T's the Panthers seem to like

 

I'm thinking maybe the second is where we find an OT, I have seen so many different rankings who knows where they will go. I like Fisher and Clemmings.
