I wouldn’t mind getting some extra picks and trading back. Not sold on anyone of this years QB prospects. Take the best LT or trade back.

This is the logical choice but we’re dealing with Hurney here. Do we really want him to have tons of 2nd and 3rd round picks? Unless they put him on a short leash and give more drafting control to the new coach, I don’t have any hope for this upcoming draft or FA.

I’m just happy the Aints are still playing for something this week. I expect Payton to order a no holds barred assault Sunday and will probably only see a couple guys actually show some effort. 
 

Not sold on anyone in this years qb class, would rather get a stud LT or a stud DT. Gotta get the trenches fixed.

I'd load up on 2021 picks. My theory is the guy Tepper wants is under contract through this next draft so build up picks for that guy in the following draft. It means we have to put up with one more Hurney draft, but that's the consequence of the poor decision Tepper made in January.

at 8 we have a pretty good shot at Derrick Brown, the DT out of Auburn.  He's a day 1 starter.  At 6 we may have a shot at the LT out of Georgia,  Andrew Thomas.  

LTs are harder to find than DTs.  I think Brown is probably the better player, but I can't see us walking away from the best LT in the draft as much as we have sucked since Jordan quit.  Thomas could solve out toughest position for a good 12 years or so.

I love Derrick Brown.  While I think an OT would be nice, we need 2 DTs (after getting rid of McCoy and Butler).

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
