So looking at the line and needs within the next season or two we could be looking at left tackle center guard depth and possibly right tackle because we don't know how it will play out with Moton. Drafting a tackle at 8 with the current outlook is akin to putting a bandaid on a stab wound. Either this or next year no matter what we do some poor qb is going to be making chicken salad out of chicken poo.

We were looking for a guy when we found Reed. We aren't any better or worse for the move as far as I can tell, except we'll probably save a few bucks. Good luck to him, though.

Corn Elder, hmmm, I always hoped he would hit his potential here. Maybe he did and that's why no re-signing yet. Good luck to him, too, wherever he lands. It wasn't like there was a lot standing in front of him when it came to winning a starting spot.

Not sure he sucked, but he was well, mediocre I guess. Of course, on that line, that looked better than it was just by comparison.

We've got to stop buying guards and just build 'em ourselves. Then cut them loose when they get good and overly expensive. FA veteran guards are too expensive and even the moderately priced ones have enough problems to be offset by rookie price tags and trainability.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
