I was watching a game on ESPN the other night and they had McShay's mock draft running across the ticker at the bottom of the screen and showed Cross as the Panthers' pick. So, that's probably not going to happen.

i havent watched him much if not at all but the reports on him is that he is an animal with a dog mentality that he wants to rip your head off every play.  A lot like wirfs and wills

Am I the only person that gets a hard on after reading this scouting report?

Nevertheless, being lean doesn’t stop Cross from being a violent and physical tackle who exudes competitive toughness. Finishing a play doesn’t always mean putting your man in the dirt, but it appears that the Mississippi State OT did not get that memo. Cross looks to punish his opponent every play, whether in pass protection or as a mauler in the ground game. Despite his lean frame, he’s powerful and displays a decent anchor in pass protection.

Alongside his physicality and violence, Cross brings elite athleticism to the position.

 

Enough of the bullshit.  Stop being silly and get this dude (or someone comparable) and let him anchor the left side.  Damn I want a dog at LT

 

Keep in mind his "lean" frame is at 305lbs and projects to add another 10-20lbs of muscle.  Godalmighty lets do this

That should sell Rhule on him, but what is his arm length?😉

If I am tepper and saw that this team imploded afuginggain because our oline was the worst in the league I would call rhule into my office and simply say.  "Hey I see that Slater had one of the best rookie seasons ever for a LT.  Tell me again about your arm theory in regards to the NFL?"

If I was Tepper calling Rhule into my office, it would be to clean out his office and pack his bags.

This. I honestly haven't even paid attention this incoming draft class yet because I have no hope for this organization as long as Rhule is here. I would normally be banging the table for Sam Howell but I don't want him here with Rhule and this crew and this OL. He's dealt with atrocious OL play all year this season. If we aren't gonna get our poo together, just let him go to Pittsburgh and a proven organization.

It's looking like 3 top 10 OT prospects.  If this organization flubs this no-brainer decision, it may be wraps for me.  I'll just carry on my Sundays from that point forward like the NFL doesn't exist.  Really, that's how much of a deal breaker this is to me right now.  If there isn't a franchise QB in this year's class (and there really isn't) getting your franchise OT is the next best thing.  I don't care about any other position.  Don't give me some crap about DEs, WRs and certainly not CBs.  Those positions can't change the fortune of a struggling franchise.  A stud left tackle that keeps the QB clean can make a marginal QB look good as long as the QB takes care of the ball.  The key is, dude has to stay UPRIGHT.

Again, if the organization screws up this pick, I will really consider washing my hands of this incompetency once and for all.

I feel Howell could be the pick for the Panthers, especially if another QB or two gets selected before they pick. Tepper and Co know the UNC fans will buy tickets and merch to support one of their guys.

If we're gonna fire Rhule and get a real NFL coaching staff and commit to building an NFL caliber OL, I'd LOVE to have Howell. If not, I hope for his sake he lands elsewhere.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
