2019 Panthers Draft Target out for the Season

We need someone at LT. coaches refuse to put moton there and Williams isn’t an LT so seems to me they kind of do need little to be LT. of course there’s always the option of dragging someone of the couch and sticking him there like last year which I’d consider to have as much value as a rookie

 

and before you say say moton was doing well at Rt why move him, think it’s an accepted fact lt is more important and we should all agree not having Motown at lt day one and plug the right side instead of lt should’ve been done; everyone knew they (and Williams) rushed Williams back and everyone knew he wasn’t going to last

 

this staff obviously has issues with evaluating the line; amini (started; started over norwell), chandler, bell etc.

The easiest thing to do is try and let the rookie win the job. If he does well you have your starter for the next 9 years. Williams is on a one year contract  and Moton is in year 3 of his 4 year contract. There is no guarantee that we can sign both to new contracts if they have great seasons. Moton can play either position and I think the hope is that Williams will line up at left guard . The commentary was that it would be disastrous if the rookie got injured. I just replied it wouldn't. Truth is that if it were me, I wouldn't be starting a rookie at LT ever unless he was clearly the best option. And then I would be bitching to the GM that I needed a free agent pickup. That is probably why I talk with you instead of coach a team.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
