Can we have a synopsis of the synopsis?

 

25 prospects, all good ones at positions we need, but not one OT.  We'll see if the new GM wants to pay Moton, but there have no encouraging signs we want to set the market for RT.  Our LT is a free agent,  injured more often than not, and old.

We are going to have to address OT this offseason, because it looks like we'll need 2 new starters.

Well, they have all the usual suspects and it appears day two and three prospects as well.

It looks like they see the value of acquiring a more suitable TE, freeing Chinn & Burns up to do what they do, and upgrading key areas, including the defensive backfield. Of course there's a little something for everyone (unless you want an RB or WR)!

The click is certainly worth it!

Leatherwood and Sewell are both there.

Sewell means we don't get a QB, and I don't think I can take another year without at least a developmental guy.  I suppose the Bengals could trade back to a QB hungry team, and we could get him, but that means another year or two of Teddy.

from the article about Leatherwood.

"Leatherwood also has excellent footwork which translates to smooth kick-slides and strong ability to stay in front of defenders. Quickness and hand placement are not his strong suits though, which is why we believe Leatherwood will be playing guard at the next level."

Well, my guy's name is stop the package of Nekots.

"Lance has a unique blend of size, arm strength, mobility, and accuracy..."

 

"Lance has all the tools in the world to become a top dual-threat quarterback in the NFL with his cannon of an arm and exceptional athleticism to fit into any scheme."

 

And that is why I want Lance!

Basically:

Round 1 (In this order)

  • Fields
  • Wilson
  • Lance

Round 2:

No Left tackle mentioned--

 

Right. Wish they'd done something on Eichenberg, Darrisaw, Jackson. Others have said this OT class is thin, but every scout I've read says the opposite. I guess we'll see.

I think if it's Sewell you see the Panthers make a move on someone like Stafford. 

From what Tepper has said, I don't think we see BW as the starter going into next season.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
