Lost in all the burns hype, I haven't seen many thoughts on how little performed. I am not the best at dissecting lineman play during a live broadcast and haven't gotten to rewatch the game so does any have any thoughts.. a bit curious how the late round swingman looked as well..

He took some time to settle in. If you went only by what you heard on here you'd think he played awful. he looked just like a rookie playing in their first NFL action on the hardest spot on the OL... had a few bad plays and looked fine on others. I think he gets there, just needs reps and coaching

Work in progress at best right now. He's gotta get more reps, one game isn't enough of a sample size. Fans kind of have to be realistic and realize how difficult it is to draft all pro tackles right out of the gate. Suck to hear that, but it's the truth looking at drafts the last several years. But after unloading an albatross contract on the OL we had a need and we needed to make a move. Hopefully it pans out when he has more playing time under his belt.

i counted about 2-3 bad pass sets over the course of the game. Bears got him and Daley with a couple surprise blitzes. overall he looked like he did in his Ole Miss tape, which is encouraging. the NFL is definitely not too big for him. just got to continue developing.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
