The Pick: Yodny Cajuste, Offensive Tackle, West Virginia

The days of watching Cam Newton run for his life every passing down can end with the selection of senior left tackle Yodny Cajuste.

Cajuste is a fantastic athlete at a position that is too often overlooked because he played in the Big 12 and operated mostly in a wide-open scheme some scouts want to discount. That will be their loss, as Cajuste has excellent physical tools to work with including fast feet, great balance and enough length to keep pass-rushers off his frame.

The Panthers have to address the offensive line this offseason. Adding Cajuste checks off the team's biggest need.

Don’t know much about him, but if he is a solid LT, we should run to the podium to select him. Sign Clark for cheap as a back up and cut Kalil June 1st. Pick up a solid FA center and let Larsen compete for LG... Can you imagine CMC behind a solid line?!

could you imagine a QB behind a solid line that doesn't need to be schemed around?

Depending on signing Williams or not. LG is also a big need. Van Roten is mediocre at best. That’s why I’d rather resign Williams. There’s some good depth at C/G in this draft. If we resign Williams we can use our 2nd and one of the two 3rds or 4th in 1 C and 1 G and have a really solid OL with good depth (Van Roten, Larsen and maybe Newhouse/Clark). Kalil needs to go. Wasting an extr $7m in cap on him this year is dumb. 

Moton will play LG imo. Williams will receive a nice contract because he's a proven player, so no need to roll the dice on a RT in the draft imo. We're good at guard imo. I think Kalil is going to be sent packing. I'm hoping we'll take a LT round 1, and C round 2, assuming the value is there. The rest of the draft can be plugging the holes in the defense.

Larsen was pretty bad at RG for Turner. I think he’s better at C, but he’s still someone we can upgrade. Same with Van Roten.

I agree.  Van Roten had his moments at LG, but Larsen was bad at RG.  Cam was not the same QB when Kalil was out, fwiw.

I really shared this because those of us who aren’t draftniks would really. not have known about Moton or Thomas unless we followed their schools

i thought it might help at who to watch at the combine too

...of course I don’t want the Panthers to reach but I think Tepper was pretty clear in what he wanted and who knows about the contract situation with Williams and with those knee injuries, who knows

one thing is certain, should Newton be able to return we cannot afford any blind side hits on that shoulder anymore

Stud LT in the draft is a good move.  I thought Larsen was solid at center, others not agree?  I think we big time need pass rushers and I hope the Panthers make a splash in free agency for a game changing DE and I don't even care if they pay big money for one.

      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.
