Wouldn’t he be worth a 2nd rounder versus what we could draft?

Not necessarily just because he had 8 sacks. I haven't seen much of his play so I'm just speaking in generalities, but his run D could be bad and his sacks could be misleading. Also, to pry him away from them we'd have to give him a contract that's significantly more than a 2nd round rookie.

8 sacks doesn't necessarily equal "developed product."

It's way better than Horton who was starting here.. Also his 8 sacks this year is more than any rookie we would draft.. plain and simple he has atleast done it in the NFL.

I know absolutely nothing about the guy... but hey, if he is legit, then giving up a 2nd might not be bad at all.

That's all I'm saying.. The draft is a crap shoot.. This is a hometown kid who atleast is proven better than what you have on the roster now "Besides Addison" ofcourse.. And at 23 it "might" be worth a 2nd round pick...

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
