I like how he's apparently legit left tackle material without even playing an NFL game. lol 

Newsflash bud-the fact he's actually played LT in college makes him unlike all but THREE players in the last 20 drafts of our franchise's two decade history!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Jordan Gross, Jeff Otah, and Lee Ziemba.  That's freakin' it the last 20 drafts.

This guy is the #2 LT prospect in one of the two major NFL scouting services after Ronnie Stanley, who we're very unlikely to get, and who quite frankly I hope we don't get since he's likely a top 10 pick.

For the above stated reasons alone I hope we're doing EVERYTHING in our power over the next week or two to make a quality decision on this guy.

Travelle Wharton, Blake Brockermeyer, Rashad Butler, Chris Terry, Amini Silatolu  and Leander Jordan also played LT In college.

I said last 20 drafts.  I knew about 95 but over 20 drafts ago is a long freakin time.  Also, sorry, but the point was to speak about LTs that may actually play the position, not guards.

I guess same goes for all the LT taken during the draft , if he has the talent and skills we should at least consider it. Also the way panthers play I highly doubt we will be in top 15 picks for years so the chance of drafting a quality LT isn't going to happen unless moving up

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
