I watched the segment and it was the poo. 
 

I was giving Fitterer a hard time for being uncomfortable in interviews. But man he was smooth in that draft room. Really nice collaboration and Rhule had a lot of input as well.

I know Gettleman had some terrible decisions but I miss him a bit on the OL. In year 2 of his drafting we had an OL with the middle of Norwell, Ryan and Turner. In year 4, he added Daryl Williams who after his solid year in Buffalo was pretty solid and just got hurt. He added Oher who was solid until concussion and in the last year added Moton. All in 5 drafts. Marty in 3 years just subtracted and we have to hope we extend Moton and the rookies work out. After 1 non-Hurney draft I feel better already. Not finished but at least we aren’t ignoring it and wasting lots of day 2 picks on reaches instead of solid IOL. I’m hoping that we found our Gross and Norwell or Turner and Norwell so we can extend Moton and we are 2 OL away from a study OL.  

This is the same Oline that the Cam fans say wasn't good enough, right?

Sorry it's tough to keep up around here.

Yes, the one that after they started playing together at the end of 2014 and went 22-2 before the SB and was ranked top 2/top 5 in all kinds of rankings. Yep, that one. It’s too bad the injuries killed them in 2016. I was at training camp the day TD and Ryan were going at it and Ryan hurt his shoulder. Felt like he was never quite the same. They weren’t bad in 2017 either with Norwell, Ryan, Turner and Williams anchoring the OL. Moton was the jumbo package guy and had some great blocks like on that long Stewart TD against Minnesota I think.

People get so hung up on LT that they forget how good that interior was from the second half of 2014 through 2017 aside from Ryan missing some time.

So you're saying Cam Newton didn't carry the franchise on his back?

This is not the story I hear on the Huddle...

I don't get how you ever thought he looked bad in interviews. He's always came across as very confident and well spoken to me.

For every good line decision he made he matched it with an equally mind-boggling stupid decision.

Probably a great comparison. Great OG, reliable OT.

I'll take it over the poo we've had to deal with for years.

 
At 24 years old, Christensen is the type of prospect who can come in and immediately contribute.
 
His 31 1/4″ arms may preclude him from a full-time job as a tackle in the NFL, but Christensen can jump inside to guard and be an immediate starter for the Panthers.

I get that.  Sounds right.  So he is our next travelle wharton.

 
Brady Christensen showcased his athleticism at his Pro Day. His 10-4 broad jump is an all-time mark for offensive tackles.
 
He added to that with 30 reps on the bench, a 34″ vertical jump and a 4.89 40-yard dash.
 
The Panthers need athleticism and versatility along the offensive line and that’s exactly what Christensen will bring.

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

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
