12. Carolina Panthers

The interior of the Panthers line is solid, but the tackle position is still a concern. They spent big money this offseason on Matt Kalil, who has graded out below-average every single season since a successful rookie campaign. Injuries have played a part there, but there is no guarantee he regains that form. The wild card here could be rookie second-round pick Taylor Moton, who was consistently one of our highest-graded linemen between tackle and guard in college.

Moton will prove to be a great pick. Everything I've came across so far shows that he is smart, coachable, reliable, and MASSIVE. Worst case, he fills in incase we can't keep both Norwell next season. Starter material anyway you look at it. 

I'm actually relieved McDerm picked Dawkins right before him. 

Tackles, Tackles, Tackles tho? ...I'm happy for Matt but tempering my expectations based on what I've seen previously. Hopefully Brown & Matsko can get him back to rookie form.

I call BS , our tackle situation is a complete mystery until weve played a few games. 

True, but I don't think it's a stretch to expect Oher-esque level play out of Kalil and we know Williams is a serviceable RT with a potential upgrade added in Moton. This is the best OT situation we've had on paper since Gross retired, which granted is saying very little.

I'm feeling pretty good so long as I don't hear anything about Bell or Chandler being signed. Rating our o-line at this point is totally impossible, but I like hearing we're 12th. I'll forget about this rating by tomorrow, but it's a nice little bit of entertainment.

Williams is great in Madden so no worries there.

Given that it's a pre-preseason theoretical ranking it's literally all bs.

Yeah, I hope Moton ends up being great, but let's wait until we actually see him in pads going head to head with proven NFL pass rushers before we start patting ourselves on the back for a getting a 2nd round steal.

Overall, my expectations of him as a rookie are relatively low. It's a mighty steep learning curve from MAC level NCAA play and the NFL - especially in the trenches.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Woukd be a great addition You know the issues from my prespective, 2 things the Panthers must do 1. Edge or pass rushers or 2 oline or 3 oline or as Andy Reid says, when in doubt, draft a lineman it is time   That oline is troubling plus a small person at QB  they   1. Can do a lot better than mayes at center, 2. and lewis has had injuries all season. 3. Moton should not have  been resigned long term, 4. corbett is a shadow and will probably be released  5 and Christianson coming off Achilles   6 and the kicker, would be Ickey’s contract if they decide to keep him INMO rookie and contracts will be needed to offset all that
