And this doesn’t include hurries on the most important position on the field

Thanks R-P, but I wonder how many sacks were up the gut?  We need a C, LG, and probably a LT--I am of the camp that we KNOW we need a C and probably a LG, but Little has simply not been given a fair chance to develop.  Thanks for this, though.  It makes me second-guess my thinking,

If anyone who has been watching the Panthers since Gross retired still needs a case made out to them for drafting a LT at #7 then I don't know what else to tell them.

I'm not saying to definitely draft one there, it depends on what the board looks like when we're on the clock, but the possibility should abso-fuging-lutely be on the table.

It wasn't just the LT that contributed to that. We need a center who can command that line ina similar way Khalil did. Honestly it would be a waste to draft another LT when we do have a talented guy on the roster. Yes, he didnt play much, but Greg Little has talent. Give him a shot before drafting another LT.

I know LT isn’t the most exciting pick but boy wouldn’t it be nice to not have to worry about left tackle for a change. 


Both sides of the ball need a lot of help up front. Hopefully we can end up with one of Andrew Thomas or Derrick Brown. Both would significantly help.

My bet is he loves Brown. 

He's taken so many/traded for so many DTs in his tenure, I think he almost certainly goes tackle

I realize this is the same guy who took Vernon Butler when we were stacked, but I think even Gettleman has his limits

Especially since he just recently hired "4 computer folks" (analytics guys)

Need to take the BPA at OL AND DL. (with nearly all picks.)

Whats gotten lost in all this DT and OL stuff, is DE/OLB is a giant need too. Only Burns is there and two other young question marks. 

If a stud D-end is there at #7, take him.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
