If Sewell is drafted before #8...

Honestly, I think Leatherwood is gonna be a bust at OT. I just don't think he has the required foot quickness. I think he'll be one of those guys who is drafted and given a chance at OT but likely ultimately ends up at OG. That's not a terrible thing, but I think that's how you have to value him and kinda already have that approach in mind.

G is his spot. 

I hope we address RT this year as well, later in the draft, and develop a player in the event we decide not to pay Moton elite LT money (if he still wants that).  I really like the LT from N Iowa, the kid from Miami Ohio, and Ball, the T from marshall.  Normally, I am against small school OL, but these guys check the boxes.

 

By the way, I am starting to fall in love with Slater--watch this--that is chase young Slater is manhandling during his first year at LT. 

He may be a better fit here than Sewell.

I used to be a porn star.  I am trying to start a new life.  Used to the phrasing, not on a dude though.

I'm intrigued by the Cincinnati kid, but I think he's likely pure boom or bust.

There was a bit of drama in his past, I can't recall what it was about, but I think he is a Mich transfer and did very well as a Bearcat.  Where he might be drafted (3-4) I am not sure the risk would outweigh the potential reward.  I am also intrigued by him.   He could go higher than I project, however.

I think he probably goes in the 3rd. I just don't know that he's a great fit for us due to his bust potential. He'd make sense as a roll of the dice for a better team, but we need players with those first three picks. We don't need pie in the sky prospects.

Like last year, we need 3 walk off home runs in this draft. 
I am guessing we draft a LT in round 1, a CB in round 2, and that DT Fitterer keeps ranting about in round 3. Day 3 is all Rhule at the farmer's market.

Which one is that?

No one in particular---but when he talks about needs, he goes OL, CB, DT...I have to think a 3T is the last missing piece--we did not have one last year---just Obada and at times YGM stepping inside.  Not enough.

Oh I thought he went all Marty Hurney and starting blabing about his draft crush.  I got REALLY good at mocking the Panthers the last few years just by reading/listening to Hurney's interviews.  Will Grier...I would have put money down on that pick I was so sure of it.

Yes-how shallow and stupid to compare the two players singularly when Beason and Kalil vs. Revis is the trade....and both sides benefited.  The problem with the Beason pick, however, was that we had Morgan at the time, but it worked out.

Ehh, by then, the Panthers knew what they had with Morgan. Great talent, but the best ability in the NFL is availability, and he was constantly hurt. Six years into his career, and he hadn't played more than 75% of regular season games in any year.

Take Pitts or Chase, elite talent trumps need

Also Slater can be our franchise LG for a decade and we still need one of those too

They got a poultry four years out of Beason and oh, wow, big whoop, a center .. centers are nothing to find

Poultry, huh? lmao

Dumb either way. If only we’d gotten five good years out of Revis instead of four out of Beason plus a decade-ish from Kalil!
