Cam Erving vs Other 2021 Free Agents

I thought I would grab the most expensive left tackle free agents and grab data to see how the signings compare so far.   It includes their current PFF for whatever it is worth.

So what your saying is we couldn't have done much better outside of Trent Williams who got outrage money for a contract that most likely he won't see to completion because of his age.

This is great. Shows that good OT dont just grow on trees. They tried, but not much out there.

It is what it is. Thankfully the Panthers didn’t sign Al Villanueva. Dude is bad guy to have around in the locker room and def a selfish player who doesn’t put the team first due to his own personal agenda.

Soooo.. as for next offseason.. Since teams aren't letting go of lineman, I'm assuming most teams are preparing to open that checkbook. Meaning we'll probably have to break the bank to get even an average body in a uniform here. 

Right now...as of today: 

Top olineman: It's going to take a fug ton of money to get me to sign in Carolina with that line beside me.

Bottom tier olineman: I hope Carolina calls, I could definitely make that roster.

Overpay it is. And go draft crazy. But we also have other needs. K, KR/PR, MLB, possibly Qb(jury still out).

At this point it seems Cameron Erving is the least of our worries. The interior specifically the two OG spots have been horrific.

LT Brady

LG Elflein

C Paradis

RG Erving

RT Moton

This may be the best lineup, move Miller and Daley to backups alongside Brown, and Scott.

I'd go one step further:

LG Elflein

C Erving

RG Brown

RT Moton

How about:

Christensen-Erving-Elflein-Brown-Moton

Now do this for Elflein and other FA LGs that were available.

[onmyown]

But what about the draft?

Onwenu has been looking really good in NE (granted not full time snaps) and he was had for a 6th rounder in 2020. Or start Brown in rotation? Onwenu has the same build as Brown and also a 6th rounder.

We took Robinson instead and some CB later. Telling me we couldn’t have made that work?

Just one example. It’s really not about what’s available because help can be found, it’s about due diligence and competence. 

I feel they were just dead set on defense.

[TheBigKat]

So the last good FA OT was was Andrew Whitworth who we passed to sign Matt Kalil?

The blindside of that line looks brutal. They’re going to have to make a move either in season or after to shore it up. In the meantime….we need to hope CMC can stay healthy all year. Bc honestly I think that the real reason we didn’t prioritize  highly drafted OL or FA is bc they were hoping the quality of perimeter weapons SD has to play with will trump the deficiencies. 

CMC showed in first couple games his availability hides a lot of problems. Need him to be healthy….
