One of our most productive draft picks over the last 5 years.

Doesn't miss time.

Swung to LT in a pinch and looked good, great at RT.

Has all but no help on the offensive line.

Still looked good, even with no CMC and Cam's threat to run.

Homegrown.

No off field issues.

No injury history.

Plays one of the most important positions on the football field.

If you don't extend guys like that, I'm not sure who you should extend.

 

P.S. this is very similar to Bradberry.

I remember hearing Bradbury wanted to leave, so we really didn’t have a chance to keep him? But I might be wrong.

Yes, and maybe that comparison to Ronnie Stanley money is concerning. Love Moton and willing to pay him, but Stanley is getting top end LT money. Maybe Moton wants Stanley money and Panthers are stuck at top end RT money. 

Glad Hurney is gone, he would say Stanley money? Hold my beer

The prices these top flight tackles command these days REALLY hamstring a team as far as the cap goes. So you have to pay a top T 20 million, then you’re also looking for a top QB who will get at least 20-25 mil. That’s 40-45 mil in 2 positions.

Fans around here like to bring that up, I don't buy it.

You don't let talent like that walk out the door, especially 2nd rounders who still want to get that big payday.  James should have been extended after his 3rd season as the starter.

Dumb team.

No, you hope to pay said tackles, and get a good young QB on a rookie deal.

Kinda like what we were setup to do before we allowed Hurney to torpedo that.

Once you sign the QB to the big deal, you need to replace the older, expensive tackles with fresh draft picks on rookie deals.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

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

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
