Is this graphic supposed to argue that there haven't been a lot of 1st round OT busts recently? If so, I think it's failing.  You don't spend a 1st round pick on an OT hoping for a marginal starter, you're hoping for a good starter at least. There are only 64 starting OTs in the NFL. IMO, if your 1st round OT doesn't at minimum end up being a top 20 OT, he's a disappointment. If he's among the bottom half of the starters in the league, it's probably not a stretch to call him a bust. A lot of those guys are probably only holding onto their starting jobs at this point because of the big investment those teams put into them. If they weren't former 1st round picks, they would've probably already been replaced.

You do realize that not ever Tackle goes against top notch Rushers all the time right? I'd take the information with a grain of salt. 

 

I'd even suggest to study the best pass rushers and who they go up against. In division and conference to see what the tackles grades are. I'm talking about the premiere league pass rushers. Like Von Miller, Chandler Jones, etc. 

Rate the tackles that way. There are some that are really high up in this ranking but don't face nearly enough rushing talent as others. Due to lack of talent among other things. 

 

I mean before Remmers went full retard, he was actually good...Contrary to popular belief, he really was. I don't know what happened, either he was exposed or he lost his edge (no pun intended) that he's now a quality back up. After the SB he's been nothing but that. A back up.

The highest we've drafted with Gettleman is at 14.

Humphries was the selected one spot ahead of us and has underwhelmed. Arians has basically called him a pussy.

Armstead was a huge risk. He paid off.

Nobody here wanted Bakhtiari. He was a complete surprise. No one had him pegged as starter material.

 

 

 

 

 

Idiot.

Obviously you don't know football, every pick has  some form of risk its turning the potential into results by the organization. 

It doenst matter where we pick we can trade up or down to get the player we want. I dont have all day but there are other OTs that where successfull that where picked in the same range we pick. 

Idiot.

Agreed.

As for Remmers, Cam has said in the past that Remmers is the "panic guy" in the huddle. While he said it in a joking manner, there was probably a lot of truth to it. He may not be a mentally strong player and getting utterly dominated by Von Miller may have broken him. He's looked like a completely different player since that game. If that's the case, hanging him out to dry at LT is probably the absolute worst thing we can do.  But, that's all just speculation and it very well could be wildly inaccurate.

One thing is certain, want that oline to get better, drafting a marginal DT and 3 cornerbacks isn't the answer either 

panthers traded a 4th this year for a punter

meanwhile the 100 million dollar QB continues to get the poo beat out of hm 

the panthers can reach for 3 Cbs  do a luxury pick with an unneeded DT and trade for a punter but not a olineman

got it

Armstead was an OT from a D-2 school who had only started one full season. The only reason he didn't go undrafted was because he ran a nice 40. He was a bigger risk than average, numb nuts. Now go back to your cave.

Yea sure because you had access to all the GMs draft board and where they placed Armstead in the pecking order.  ( Just like Bradberry wasn't a big  school name prospect and huddlers where like we can get him in 4th round but nope DG valued his potential & gave him 2nd rd grade.)

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
