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

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
