Who from this years top 3 Panther draft picks would you trade for a Joe Thomas who will be 33 this football season?

This. I would've loved to have picked up Thomas but given his age and what it would've taken to get him, not sure it'd be worth it. We went with a younger OT instead who can hopefully help us out for more than just a season or two. Cleveland wasn't going to just give him away, especially since they're planning on trying to break in a 2nd round rookie QB.

We'll never know what could have been worked out. His age would have likely been a main point in his valuation, but the possibility and yesterday's ponderings are hardly worth discussing now in my opinion. Our eggs are in the Kalil basket now and/or with some luck, Moton's. I'm at peace with that for now. If Thomas was ever even seriously in discussion, I'm at peace with passing on him, irrespective of Kalil and our draft.

Why not trade for Julio Jones too? Or we could've traded for Calvin Johnson in 2015. Why stop there when we can trade for JJ Watt? And Richard Sherman too. Hell, why not Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor to round out the big 3 back there?

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
