I'm a huge UNC fan, but I'm not sure there's a pro on that OL. That OL is more the product of a sum of it's parts rather than any standout individuals. It's a group of good, experienced D1 college offensive linemen, but I'm not sure any of them are NFL caliber.

True I agree none in early rounds but by round 6 you are taking a gamble. John Heck is solid to me and first pick believes so too in that round.

Foreman definitely isn't a 4th rounder. Also, I like Engram as a TE, but he's undersized/not a good blocker. I think Robinson/Walker is doable.

I was surprised to see Foreman drop to the 4th round as well and I doubt he falls that far either. Engram is intriguing as a slot WR / TE. Blocking could definitely use improving but he is a good route runner and an upgrade over Dickson.

Here is mine, could be better, but it's not bad imo. I honestly think T. McKinely may move into the first with good workouts/Combine and could become an option if we fall into 14th-15th.  I would add a camp arm (like a poorman's Cam Newton in Sefo Liufau or Brady Gustafson) as a possible PS selectio for when we move on from Anderson and Webb and probably bring TJ Logan in as a potential Fozzy replacement in special teams and on 3rd downs. And the best FB and K (Zane Gonzales?) that went undrafted.
 
I guarantee that Kalif Phillips will be in attendance for rookie minicamp/tryouts.

I could not turn down Ryan Anderson in the 3rd, aj replacement/luke insurance to justify the pick tho.

Sorry, but I'm done with small school OL. I hope we never draft another one. When it comes to OL, give me a kid from a power 5 conference. Taking that a step further, give me a kid from a traditional powerhouse. 

It just seems like small school OL very rarely work out in the NFL and never work out for the Panthers.

I feel the same way.

Though, if Devenport is there in the 5th or tarde up in the late 4th (where I have seen feel he will be at) I would be willing to grab him.  Most guys that late are not projected to be imediate impact players, sitting him as a project could be good

I like it. I don't know anything about Antonio Garcia, but the rest are pretty solid.

All-Sun Belt (doesn't mean much, I know) player that has allowed 0 sacks in 900 snaps. Career (3 year starter) left tackle (6'7, 302 lbs) that is invited to the Senior Bowl and will likely be at the combine.

 

Would be a good developmental prospect late.

If you watched that bowl game that just wrapped up, now you understand what I was saying.

Soloman Thomas tossed that entire OL around like they were a bunch of toddlers. That entire OL got worked today.

We are talking late round picks and I believe my pick would be justified. It is a depth pick and a bad O-Line doesn't make a player individually bad. He is but one man. To each their own though.

One thing I think is pretty odd is that we've been told that OT is terrible this year for the draft, but I keep seeing a ton of guys selected in every mock, some way higher than I'd expect.

Even the worse classes on paper are likely going to produce a couple of solid starters in the league. I guess that's were we put faith into the scouts.

Used draftek and like this one a lot as well. With Oher likely to come back next year, I went for a long term prospect. Fournette and Howard should help the offense day one as should Charlton on defense. I also love the CB/S/S run from 5th to 7th. If those 3 are really there, that is some good secondary depth including a likely starter at strong safety. Not Jamal Adams, but I think Melifonwu/Ford could be solid. Walterfootball has those 2 as the 6th and 11th safety prospects. Also, Pocic as Walterfootball's #1 C is a nice get as depth and a legit Kalil replacement.

I honestly don't know my feelings on fournette. I can make a good case for drafting and avoiding. I do love OJ in the second. You just killed the value&need in 2-4 round picks, pocic is insane value in the 4th. I believe CBS has him as the 36th overall prospect. I personally avoid C/OGs until late rounds, but at that point youd be hard-headed not pick one that's rated high in the 4th.

Not going to pretend to know the 4-7 late round guys. I drafted a guy named stormhand or stormfist in the 7th based on name alone, he was a safety tho....

      "If you could change any one instant in Carolina Panther history, ... just ONE, ... what would it be? Initial gut reaction when I first thought of this question is Kasay kicks it in bounds on the kickoff, but unfortunately I still think New England wins that game even with that My second instinct was pulling Bene out before he breaks his leg in the playoffs. My crackpot theory is if he never gets hurt we win the superbowl. I refuse to go back and watch the game but at some point Peyton throw an absolute duck that should have been pick 6'd. but because we were on our like fifth outside corner he was slow to the ball. this would have completely flipped that game because I'm pretty sure Denver scored that drive and the next one was the Cam sack fumble

      1a. Drafted Tom Brady in the 5th round. 1b. Might be an unpopular opinion, but when Reid was let go in Philly, k would have fired Rivera and brought him in. It was obvious he was an offensive genius. Coaches like Reid don't come available often.
