The LT spot is difficult to decide.  Do you trade away draft capital for a LT on a team that he's not starting for?  Trade for a disgruntled player? Trade for an aging Vet?  IMO all of these could set us back further than what we are now.  If we are going to trade for a player than that player HAS TO BE PROVEN on the field otherwise you are gambling with your future.

Winning franchises, win through solid drafts not free agency.  You fill in gaps with Free Agency. It seems that Erving is not panning out, which is sad to here because he was that Fill in the gap player. I think our best option is to sign Russell Okung again.  Draft OT in 2022.   He's been out all preseason and should be healed from his injuries. I would assume he is in good shape just waiting for a call.  If we remember, Jonathan Stewart was always out of preseason and once the season started he was good.

One last thing on Okung, he won't cost us any draft capital.  If he were to go down again at least we have Erving to replace him or move Moton over to LT.  Or possibly Christensen has developed enough to go to LT.  

As far who they are extending I hope it isn't Anderson.  As I said before you build through the draft.  We just drafted two players in Marshall and Smith that can take the role of Anderson.  They're young and cheap. Not to mention that C.J. Saunders is making a huge bid to be in our final 53.  You work on signing our draft pick DJ Moore and let Anderson walk.  

If we continue to sign our draft picks we build continuity and loyalty to the Panther Organization.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
