Offensive Tackles cost us the game.

Panthers have avoided this issue for several years & it always comes back to bite us in the biggest moment.It cost us the game vs Seattle last year and IT sneaks back in for a SB suprise. We know big boys allows you to compete  and the investment in the DT's paid of significantly we must make the same commitment to the OL.  The 2016 OT class is strong this year with several prospect right for the Panther's system? most hudddlers point to the fact that most first round OT's have failed in the recent years but knowing the success we have had in 1st & 2nd round with GM like Gettleman we can surely find The Kawan Short of the OTs in this draft that can be left on a island or move the pile in the run game. Most of the core positions have been filled on this team and its time for quality over quantity.  The key is drafting a guy that fits Panthers system and there should be several prospect this year that can be molded. Other areas of position CB, TE, C, DE

Its no good to have shiny toys like Kelvin, Funchess,Brown..etc when your QB doesn't have time to throw. In a way your setting your prior investment for failure. Yeah the OTs we have now will get it done in the regular season but come play off time  where gonna be facing elite pass rushers (hence they are in the post season). 

Possible Prospects. We just need 1 prospect.

OT: TAYLOR DECKER, OT, GERMAIN IFEDI, OT

I'm hoping Daryl Williams is ready to take over RT next year.  Oher was fine this year.  Not great in the SB, but he wasn't a major part of the problem.  The issues with blocking last night were mostly Remmers, Remmers, RBs and TEs not picking up blitzes, and Remmers.  I think Oher got a false start or two, but didn't give up as much pressure as the others.

The OTs doesnt have to start day one but your only good as your depth and that increases your chances of winning. Just look at how investment in LB corp paid off.

I'd say poor wr play cost us, even with cam being sacked like it's 2008 madden nano blitz, wr play cost us points. drop pass at the 5, and a wr letting the ball go through his hands for a redzone int. easily 14 points off the board or bare minimum 6.

Panthers offense relies on timing and when there is pressure  its affects the whole offense. whether if its cam throwing earlier than he has 2, not able set his feet properly or that extra second  for WR to get pass  his man for better catching oppurtinity it matters. OT was the biggest issue.

agreed RT at least needs to get a second look, i still think even with the terrible ot play we could have pulled out a ugly win if the wr's make plays they were suppose to both positions need to be looked at heavily

I believe WR will be a strength with the return of KB. That will also open up the Run game even more.

Draft 2 OT, DE, and CB. 

Oher I think played pretty darn good even in the Superbowl.  He needs a reliable back up and we need a starting RT now.

Of course Im ok if BPA is a replacement for Dickson, a FAST receiver that can catch, and 2 OT too,....

The RBs/Tolbert also got to pass protect better. I also question Olsen's pass blocking.

    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
    • Moton is a class act.  
    • Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
