Why would you say that a 21/22 year old rookie who was held out of 12 games for concussion and ankle issues that he is not tackle material? Dude only played 4 games last year and you can confidently say that at his age, and only a handful of games under his belt, that he is better suited for a position he did not play in college or the NFL, more over than the position he has played since college?

Give him a year in Okung's back pocket learning the ropes and getting healthy and then you could have a 23-year old LT starting in '21. 

Omg it's not that hard..

Add in you would have 1 of the top defensive players in this draft as well..

I'd rather gamble on that then to redraft that position..

#Panthers gave DL Zach Kerr a two-year deal with a base value of $3 million plus more available in incentives. It was actually agreed to nine days before it was announced. The COVID situation slowed down the medicals and finalization.

sounds like Phil Snow identified Kerr as the ideal NT for his 4-3 defense

      You might want to re-read that. They're specifically saying they DON'T use stats. They arbitrarily judge each play and then extrapolate that into a grade.

      You're correct (on its face). But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explains it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack. https://www.pff.com/grades So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.
