Unless Brown is the next Aaron Donald he's not going to fix the rest of the defense. 

If we're in a position to draft Thomas it'll help solidify that group and we could have a VERY dangerous offense next year if Cam comes back healthy. A Ferrari wont go very fast without a good engine. The offensive line is the heart and soul in every offense in football. A great oline has guys like Dak Prescott throwing for 4900 yards. 

Healthy Qb1, with a solid oline, an all pro CMC, and an improving DJ Moore/Curtis Samuel/Whoever else they bring in with Joe Brady calling the plays actually has me excited for next year

We need to give Little more of a shot than a concussion riddled rookie season with a lame duck head coach. 

 

go draft at a position that is devoid of talent and young potential aka DT

 

Hurney isn't drafting a LT a season after trading up for "our future left tackle". Bitch and say what you want, Id bet good money we will not be drafting LT

 But what would you want? If Rhule and Brady want a LT I don't think Hurney has much say in the matter 

If they are comparable prospects I go with LT.

I want to give Little a chance to develop in what will most likely be a rebuilding year. 

 

giving up on Little, especially considering the circumstances, is premature.

We are a rebuilding team that needs talent. We have Short and that's all at DT. We don't even have unknown players.

At least at LT we have two players going into their 2nd year that struggled with injuries but at times showed potential. Daley and Little were rookies. It takes time to grow into their position.

We just saw what SF did with their defensive line. We saw the impact Chris Jones had on the game. 

Imagine putting Brown next to Burns and running a stunt. That would be hell to block. Give me Brown in the 1st.

Are you willing to risk Cam's future with the panthers on Little performing THIS SEASON? 

Also moving him to guard would not be giving up on him, just putting him in a less critical role while we give him time to develop and see if he can stay healthy, which regardless of potential is a whole seperate issue that may force giving up on him.

Glaring holes all over the defense, and arguably our best defensive lineman will be returning from injury.  KK isn't a stud anymore by any stretch, but he's still a pretty solid player.  Good DTs are much easier to come by than good OTs.  

A good OT makes this offense potentially dangerous if we add a weapon in the passing game via free agency, and Cam Newton can return to form.  Doubtful that happens, but if it did, we could at least try to outscore opponents.  The defense needs a complete rebuild, and I don't think DT is the place to start with a rebuild.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that would could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch him.  If he regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
