We could see as many as 4 OL go before we pick, even if we tank.  There are some really bad OLs ahead of us in the draft.  I wouldn't shock me to see a record amount of OL going in round 1 this year.

The '08 draft had 7 tackles, and 1 OG selected in the first round.  This year could rival that.  The '20 draft had 6 tackles and 1 center taken on day 1.

Nah, if we pick 8ish we will still have a look at a good tackle/iol prospect.  There are 2 superstar pass rushers that will go in the top 5, a premier corner as well.  Plus 2 of the teams will be in the qb market.  So I think we will be set if we want to get a tackle

My favorite draft site now has the big 3 OTs at #2, #4 and #8...Neal, Ekwonu and Cross respectively. This OT class is deep AND top heavy.  WE ARE IDIOTS if we pass up an OT at #6!  Crap, I wouldn't mind using that second 5th or the 6th rounder on another tackle as a developmental/backup type.

The last time three OTs went in the top 10 was 2013 and those were: Eric Fischer #1, Luke Joeckel #2 and Lane Johnson #4.  Two of the three panned out extremely well.   Joeckel was viewed as a bust, but had two really bad season-ending injuries in his first four years and the may have played a part in it.

I had forgotten how awful the 2013 draft was until I went back and checked.

Your right Brady seemed to fill the  roll at left tackle we paid moton on the right Tyler linderbaum is the logical pick in the first consider all most of the pressure came from the middle. Blue chip center Fa guard and draft one or two which we will have more draft capital if linderbaum is the Target we will trade down a few times.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
