Sooo, basically we have now what we had going into last  year.

Eeehh, kinda.

I like the idea of Moton at LT way better than I liked the idea of Kalil.

Kalil sucks and there's a high chance he ends up on IR anyway. Williams isn't great, but he's solid.

Keep thumping your chest about your "film study" and worship of Twitter analysts no one has ever heard of and for good reason. We all remember how Funchess was going to to excel as our #1 WR and Worley being better than Bradberry. LOL!

I would love to  see Williams get a look at LG-

I love Cody Ford and Greg  Little as well.   I would take either in the first if there is no DE we like on the board.

Little has dropped a bit from what I read, Ford guy, pretty good and versatile as is Jonah

Who you putting at right tackle in that scenario?

I do too.  But if he can play it this year, why did they not move him there last year?  Makes NO sense

We would pick one up---draft. I dont like the LT crop, but there are some potential RTs in this draft. (I hate saying this, but I am guessing what they are thinking)  Unless they plan  to play Kalil at LT, then if you do,  the OL would be "set?"

Our coaching staff making personnel decisions that make no sense isn't exactly all that farfetched a scenario.

[MHS831]

It sure looks as though we are poised to go DL in draft.

I may be sick, but this is my favorite time of year--what is wrong with me?  Trying to figure out their moves.

Again, I'm just thinking there's more risk involved with keeping Williams.

Ideally we let him loose, draft a LT, cut Matt Kalil. Keep Moton on the right side and elite, while we let a rookie show how much better they are than Matt Kalil (not that hard) and do fine on that spot.

I just don't know if a Williams coming back from injury is good, and whether Moton can man the LT spot.

Dude, you really complaining about another competent Olineman? Seriously?  One whose 26 and just coming into his prime? One whose started 29 games in your system? For 6 mil? Really?

If he'd signed with the Falcons for 6 mil, I'd have been really happy. Even with the injury concerns. Have you looked around the league at what's available?

Couldn't a rookie LT do better than Matt Kalil anyhow?

Moton mans the right side and keeps it elite. Idk if Williams coming back from injury will be good, nor do I know a guy who's played RT his whole career basically can up and out play LT immediately right out the gates.

Rookie LTs get their QBs killed with rookie mistakes.  If they draft a LT who can play well immediately, then Williams is a pricey back up for a year.

If Williams is healthy, then Williams at RT and Moton at LT is very likely the best combination. If Moton is only good at LT, as opposed to elite, that's still the best lineup.

Still need to cut Kalil and draft a tackle early, but this move gives the panthers so much more flexibility. Without it, you're drafting a LT at 16 and hoping it works out.  

Just don't see the downside to this move.

To be fair, Dan Morgan was "competent" (and much more) but he had a lot of trouble staying healthy.

I agree with the signing, but it's worth remembering that "competent" doesn't help if it's on the sideline.
