Jonah Williams vs Andre Dillard

The chance of Williams lasting until #16 is slim, real slim. But a good Edge is likely, so this discussion would be more logical if it was Dillard vs an Edge.

I think there is a real chance of Williams being there at 16.. he has cooled off a lot in scouts eyes in this process. Probably not his fault, after the combine late risers like burns sweat Metcalf and so on pushed down Williams value. I think only one tackle Taylor goes before we pick.

Here's a little nugget I ran across.  This is why I want Dillard despite not being a day 1 starter.  His ceiling is too high to Ignore.  While Jonah would more than likely be better this year than Andre, Dillard could be a formidable franchise LT for many, many years.

Measurable used to predict NFL O-linemen success

And looking just at the first rounders, that stat jumps up 98%!

    • I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.  
    • Will be interesting to see how they come out tonight. The Boston game seemed to open the flood gates of media attention. And it’s not just that they’re playing well, in some instances they are getting compared with all time greats. This is still a young team, and it would be easy for an immature team to lose some focus, buy into their own hype, and think they can coast bit. The Heat are a middle of the road team without their leading scorer. There is no big dragon to slay, no big statement to make. I think we’ll learn a lot tonight: are they young but mature, or do they still have a ways to go mentally?
    • Panthers North for the win. Good luck to him. Great guy, hated to see him leave here, but he's about to work with the best QB he's ever worked with (at least on a regular basis).
