Cross

Christenburg

old probowl FA

Brown

Moton

draft a young center, but plan to replace the Vet C in 2 years

I like it.  Here is another one. 

Free agent - LT  Leno Jr, look him up. 

LG Ikem

OC rookie like Jarrett Patterson

RG Brown or Rookie Josh Sills

RT Moton

I don’t like the FA suggestions. We aren’t competing in 2022 with no QB so stop the stop gaps that cost a bunch of cap and cancel out comp picks. Two other things, first, draft a top 5/6 LT and play him at G? Why? If he’s the LT of the future, plug him in and don’t worry about growing pins because Sam and PJ getting hit is meaningless. Second, Brown is way overrated in here. I wanted Smith over him and that was the right call. We haven’t seen Brown play against legit NFL players yet, heck even BC is untested. Sure, he played well against WFT but they were missing Young and Sweat so essentially he’s untested as well. I don’t mind if they are in the discussion but there’s really nothing concrete yet that BC and Brown can be average or above.

I definitely would like a rookie LT to pair with Moton and then let BC and Brown fight it out with the other 3-4 day 3 OL picks we make (hopefully). Maybe try out some FAs that don’t mess up any comp picks and fill in depth with Erving and Elflein. I’d also be a big fan of using 2023 day 2 picks to finish the OL.

This is the Matt Rhule Panthers. If we draft a top shelf LT, he's gonna play C or RG. Then we can grab an overdrafted and undersized RT in the 4th to play LG. Obviously Erving will be the LT.

There are three elite tackles in this class, and another elite interior guy in Linderbaum. If you don't believe in one of the QBs, you take one of them. Anything else is malpractice.

I like this logic, I just think you could possibly get OT3, C1, or possible a QB that you like by trading down.

Also who do you consider OT3? Ekwonu?

That’s my fear.  They overdraft a qb at 6 and we roll him out behind this line and then we are stuck.  

You don't draft a QB to win now.  If anything, it's the opposite, you sign a vet QB and draft a lineman to protect him.

Nobody expects you to win with a rookie QB.  The only way you save your job with a rookie is showing improvement over the season.

    • Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)
    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
