16. CAROLINA PANTHERS (11–5)

FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK: 24

PRIMARY NEED: OFFENSIVE LINE

It’s a myster how left guard Andrew Norwell—sturdy but by no means spectacular—earned first-team All-Pro. (No one on this line was All-Pro-worthy; that’s partly why the Panthers’ backs rushed for the second-fewest yards in the NFL.) This perplexing nod might beef up Norwell’s market value, and his franchise-tag number is already inflated by the NFL’s asinine practice of lumping all linemen into the same pricing category. Re-signing him could be tough, and while he’s the only 2018 free agent on this line, right tackle Daryl Williams will be up in ’19, as will center Ryan Kalil. Carolina must replenish its depth up front.

That article was Garbage all around for just about every team.

Dude said the Bengals need a new QB...

Sure there are better QB's out there, but Dalton is average. Their lines both suck, I'd start there. 

I’m friends with a die hard Bengals fan, you would not believe how many fans of theirs want a new Qb . They have been begging for AJ to start for two years now.

Yeah I mean it's ideal for them to get a guy who can be top 5-10 franchise caliber but Dalton is absolutely a guy they could win SBs with if the rest of the team (and most importantly, HC) is good enough. Dalton is solid and in the middle of the pack tier that is significantly better than being a team like the Jets, Bills, Cards, Browns, etc. They don't need a new QB at all and that shouldn't be a priority. If they happen into someone like Wilson or Dak Prescott when drafting an AJ replacement, then great. But it shouldn't be a priority and any suggestions that it should be are silly.

New York Giants

The Giants will sign All-Pro guard Andrew Norwell

It will be costly, but he has the connection to general manager Dave Gettleman, and the team's top priority this offseason is improving the line. The Giants also will re-sign Justin Pugh to play tackle. That's a lot of money to allocate to the line and two of the top linemen in free agency. -- Jordan Raanan

That offense is stacked, they should be better that what they are...at least according to the bengals fan

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
