A three-year starter at BYU, Christensen was a consensus All-American in 2020. He posted PFF's highest-recorded grade for an offensive lineman (96.0), besting Penei Sewell's 2019 grade.

Tepper strikes me as a guy who really likes metrics...
 
I think if he was 20 instead of 24 he would have easily been in the discussion for a 1st round pick after his workout. His workout was insane, his production is insane. His age is a turnoff for a league mostly built on projection.

The short arms and lateral quickness are also question marks but I really love the pick. If not for age, I bet he could have been an early to mid 2nd. But even if he has to move inside, I still love this pick. If he can develop into just an average LT then that would be amazing.

His arms are the same length as Slater.

I found this Panthers.com video interesting. 

His reaction for Christensen is by far the most excited. Happy we got someone to protect Sam? Really likes the player? Tepper seems very invested in the pick. 

Honestly I think it's relief.

I can't imagine they expected such a run on OTs to happen when they traded down from #39.

Age doesn't matter as much for O.L, who can play effectively into their mid 30's. I think he'll contribute regardless if it's at OT or G.....still wanna pick up another OL or two today

Jordan Gross was 23 when his rookie season started.  Just sayin . . .

Short arms... long arms...its all bullsh%t. Either you can play or you can't.  The number of players in the HOF who didn't match the perfect player mold is a testament to this.

He can easily have an 10-11 year career coming to the league just shy of 25.  He should bare minimum immediately start at LG but no doubt see if LT works. 

Daley/Elf fight out for LG if BC works at LT.  Scott/Erving are the backup LTs and start if they have to/if BC makes more sense at LG.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
