Hey the OL sucked donkey balls today

Huddle graded the draft an A/A-.

Since we only drafted one 3rd round OL, the draft could be an A+ and the OL still be donkey balls. We have one OL who would start on the majority of NFL rosters. That ain't the makings of a serviceable OL.

I don’t really know what they expected given their choices at OL

Pretty much. It is what it is. Not much we can do about it now.

I definitely don't want to see them make a panic trade and give up too much. If there is a path to improve cheaply or a path to improve long term for a reasonable price, I am all in.

Definitely agree with this.

Imagine if Marty took Erik McCoy at C and another G (Evans, Dieter, ?) instead of Little and imagine if we took Wirfs instead of Brown and decided Moton was going to man LT and had for a year. Now imagine we took Trey Smith instead of a long snapper. We’d have a top 5 and young/cheap OL right now and it would have cost us Brown and nothing else.

I like Brown, but I’d trade him in a heartbeat to have a stud C, two stud Ts and potentially solid Gs. 

I can understand not drafting Slater at 8, some had their doubts about him playing tackle, but 2020 might be the year we regret.  There were 3 tackle prospects available with our first pick that graded out well.

I'd much rather just put Moton on the left than try and trade.

I feel like this should've happened years ago. If the reports were accurate today that Christensen looked better than the vets, just rio the bandaid off already. Moton at LT, Christensen at RT and let's go. I don't have much hope at OG.

Agreed. If Christensen really looked better, stop the Ron Rivera poo and get him some reps. We already know Elflein and Erving are trash. Years of proving that on file

Rivera was dead set against it. No idea why, but then that's true of a lot of things Rivera did.

My concern for this year: The whole "versatility" thing is cool and all, but as I've said before what I really want to see is a set lineup that can work together and gel into a cohesive unit.

    • No, both instances of references to the defense were specific to the run defense.  I should have said "run defense" the 2nd time.  You admit there has been ample personal issue but then use those stats to support your argument. I'm not arguing on the effectiveness of his specific scheme overall.  I'm saying he is only now getting the proper personal to run his scheme.  The stats are the stats and while I don't disagree with any of what you're saying, 3 years of those stats are based on the Panthers front office not giving him the tools to run a competitive NFL defense until this year with D. Brown getting healthy and the additional of Tre'von Moehrig. I want to see his defense when we don't have multiple key starter positions manned with players who would IMHO are not starting level players.  With some talent  I say all this while not being a big fan of his scheme.  I would prefer a 4-3 but that's neither here or there. And yes, I would call getting requests and interviews from other teams who want to hire him good evidence that he may be a pretty good DC and has a lot of potential as a HC. In 2022 he had HC requests from the Broncos, Colts, and Texans.  He also had requests for DC from the Vikings, Falcons and the Panthers.  We hired him to be our DC. In 2023 it was the Falcons, Raiders and Seahawks for a HC position. In 2024 the Falcons, Seahawks and the Panthers interviewd him for HC.  We blocked the Jags from a DC interview. In 2025 (which is this years hiring cycle) so far its the Falcons, Raiders and just today the Steelers, all for the HC position.
