The “Deep OT class” may not be as deep at LT in scouts eyes

Honestly, that's fine with me. Seems like a lot of the best OTs over the past couple of decades are the guys who scouts are trying to pigeonhole as RTs only or even kicking them inside to OG. Scouts are to LTs what the Huddle is to #1 WRs. If the guy isn't a slam dunk HOFer he just doesn't belong. The problem for the scouts is that a lot of those guys have been busting over the past 20 years.

Darrisaw a LT? lol 

The depth in this class is pretty great. I just doubt you are going to want to start one right away at LT for a playoff contending team. 

So verge do you agree if Slater/Sewell aren’t there that Surtain is the pick like has been reported today?  Assuming chase and Pitts are gone of course.  Or do we have Surtain above Slater on our board?

I'd assume Waddle over Surtain.

I know right.  I feel like last year's draft was pretty predictable.  It was pretty much pre-ordained that we were going to take Brown or Simmons.  This year, who the hell knows.  We might end up with a QB!

We were never taking Simmons last year.

Left tackles are a rare evasive beast. Many will end up either a guard or restricted to the right side.  

In my opinion the breakdown of tackles goes like this. 

Sewell - Oregon has been putting out some quality lineman recently.  Sewell is the best yet. Certain Left 

Darrisaw -  Has the quickness to pass protect.  Moves well but needs to improve pulling and runblocking.  Possible Left 

Liam Eichenberg - technique, quickness, and projects well to the left.  Certain Left

Samuel Cosmi - Has the agilty and mirrors well.  Underrated guy that can stick at left.  

Then you got the maulers who are a bit bigger, some exceptionally so. 

Teven, Mayfield, and Lucas are nasty physical blockers that are either raw or lack the explosive quickness to stick on the left.  Spencer Brown and Drew Himmelman are giants even compared to other large men but leverage can work against them.

    • I do not pretend to be infallible or without flaws. I've been wrong on things over the years. We all have. Realistically most of what's been said here and on other Panthers fans social media platforms between the months of May and September for the last several years amounts to little more than spam. People drew lines in the sand over contentious takes on Bridgewater too. To the point of being asked if some people are really a Panthers fan over it. There will be reactionary spam during the season too particularly on gamedays. I've been reading these discussions on the huddle for 20 years. It's the same stuff rehashed the only thing that changes are the names in the front office the coaching staff and the roster. Some fans might be best served to stick to the official team social feeds if they are burned out on all this. Nothing wrong with that either. Different strokes for different folks. We're all human. As for the huddle. Honestly most of us post here out of habit. It's a habit hard to break. No different than the majority of the population that can't stop scrolling Facebook or X. Basically.....
    • Oh, I am gonna still watch. NFL Sunday is a tradition I plan to keep. 
    • I completely checked out on college football. Once the money grabs for TV deals killed the Pac 12 and gutted the Big 12, I was done. I really watch very little college football aside from checking out potential prospects pre-draft.
