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.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
