I've been watching Moton's reps at LT, 3rd pre-season vs NE, and Week 1 vs Dallas...

If we go OL in the 1st or even 2nd, I like the way our OL is shaping up, 

Moton / Rookie / Paradis / Turner / Williams

Key Depth- 

Larsen / GVR / Later FA Addition

I'm of the mindset even though we kicked the can on all the AAF OL, we bring in two via the draft, 

I'd be 100% ok with 

1st - Edge

2nd - S or OL

3rd S or OL

3rd - OL or DL / Edge

4th through the rest of our picks - HB / WR / BPA

We don't ''NEED'' OL in the first at this point after FA the Edge is the weakest position group right next to safety. As it stands we could start the season with the top 5 OL we have and be in better position (pending health) by a pretty decent margin as Paradis is an upgrade over Kalil at C, Moton is an upgrade over Kalil and Clark at LT, Williams back to RT is a former 2nd team All-Pro one year removed, and LG (GVR/Larsen/Mahon) is likely adequate to last seasons performance from that spot, and Turner is returning. 

Considering the Tackle bust rate, and the fact that darn near every analyst mocks a tackle to us in the 1st round the last several years I'd be shocked if we passed on a pass rusher to draft OL. 

We drafted Moton in the 2nd, Turner in the 3rd, and Williams in the 4th, Paradis was a UDFA. I'm much more comfortable with a Day 2 prospect at T/G than I am with a selection in the 1st. 

On paper at least the OL hasn't looked this good since Gross' final season in 13', and the 15' season.

If ford is the BPA, football gods help us. He's a great looking RG, TT is here and signed for a premium. Sure he could play RT, again Panthers have not one but two young guys that are more than able and had at least one great seasons. Love the player, just not the match for this Panther team.

Where’s the OU guy, as I’d like his take on this guy? I believe his name was nctarheel or something like that. He was right about that lineman that everyone said would bust.

Let me see you bounce right and left and let your shoulder lean
Let your shoulder lean, just let your shoulder lean

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
