Why do people think that Dillard can play? I don't get it. I think it'll be a disaster if a team tries to start him as a rookie. He's a mess in terms of technique.

Dillard is a fuging bum. Do not want at 16. He's a popular choice among those that haven't seen him play.

I'm never in favor of moving proven and/or promising players to less vital positions, but damn if the Panthers sure don't love doing it.

If there is one coach that Ron Rivera can consistently outsmart, it's himself.

Yeah, pretty much that. I mean, I think he'd make an interesting mid-round developmental pick, but as a 1st round guy expecting him to be a plug and play starter? Oh man, you're setting yourself up for a fail with that one.

Dillard again? Dude was awful at the Senior Bowl. Great that he’s nimble but sucks that he couldn’t block more NFL like competition instead of PAC-12 garbage.

Lol...he is a LT type player not many around ...would take him in a heartbeat

A mid round flyer? Definitely. 16? Tuck my fuging sack back and call me Tiffany because I will lose my poo.

I'd rather see Kalil move to LG during training camp and see what happens there. We're on the hook for the guy, one way or another, so we might as well use him. 

Williams remaining at RT and Moton moving to LT would be great, if Williams is still capable of playing the position. And that's a big IF... one that gets a moderate salary and a one year contract. Also, we didn't get a good, long look at Moton playing LT last year, so we still can't be sure if he's an upgrade on that side. Success at RT does not in any sense mean success at LT. 

We're going to be pondering this up and through the draft, if not all the way through training camp. I do, however, have faith that Matsko and Turner will be able to figure this out. At this point, none of the playing pieces are on crutches and that's much better than we were six months ago.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Panthers sign OT Rasheed Walker Terms: One year, up to $10 million Grade: A The price of this deal might be the most shocking of free agency thus far. Walker was widely considered the best free agent tackle this year and was expected to receive a large contract. But his market developed very slowly, so he has signed a one-year deal with a maximum value of $10 million -- meaning the base value is below that -- per NFL Network. For context, my free agency contract model projected a deal averaging $21.8 million for Walker. Instead, it's a short-term commitment for less than half that. And the Panthers are the beneficiaries. Carolina entered this offseason with a possible need at left tackle after Ikem Ekwonu suffered a patellar tendon rupture in the playoffs that put his 2026 season in question. It's also the last year of his contract. The Panthers signed Stone Forsythe as an insurance plan already in free agency, but once Walker's market fell it seemed like they felt adding him was well worth it, too. Our win rate metrics consider Walker to be a solid player. Last season in Green Bay, he was in the 85th percentile among tackles in pass block win rate, though only 22nd percentile in run block win rate. He was in the 69th percentile and 48th percentile in those two metrics in 2024, respectively. Given that Dan Moore Jr. received $20.5 million per year from the Titans last year most -- myself included -- thought Walker would walk away with more than that. Perhaps the struggles of Moore (who wasn't great last season) contributed to Walker's market being cooler than expected, a theory that ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggested. Walker was also arrested two months ago at LaGuardia Airport in New York for allegedly trying to check-in with a firearm that he had a license for in Wisconsin but not New York. Either way, teams felt differently about Walker than most on the outside thought. But he's a heck of an add for the Panthers at this price. While his run-game contributions might be far from perfect, a weak pass protector at tackle can sink a passing game. Even if this is only a one-year arrangement, Walker should be able to help keep Bryce Young upright

      Fantastic signing. If he is good, this will make next offseason really interesting. I would imagine that Morgan would try to extend Walker and convince Ikey to move to the right side to replace Moton. This also opens up options at 19 at lot instead of forcing a tackle. I'm not a fan, but I'm definitely more open to Morgen drafting Sadiq now, but there is also Peter Woods, and even some like Dillon Thieneman is now in the mix. Hell, I'm still for another off ball LB.

      sure, but Panthers are theoretically in their win now window. Their first rounder needs to be a day one starter
