Who to draft....

[LinvilleGorge]

I just don't think you can draft an IOL in the top 10 and get value. If you want to draft IOL, you gotta trade down and make up for some of that lost draft capital IMO.

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.

Cross. Every pick needs to be offensive line. It's literally the reason we suck. Line dragging everything else down.

What I prefer our OL looks like next year.

Cross

Christenburg

old probowl FA

Brown

Moton

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

What team is giving us 2 seconds for mr glass?

Nobody. The 2nd is from a trade down.  I think CMC could be traded for a 2nd.

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 really want a big powerful line with a 230 pound back behind it I think it’s time for the Panthers to bully teams

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.

0.0% chance for multiple reasons

Trade down. Trade CMC. 

If we trade CMC will we have to eat part of his contract? What would we get for him? He is an awesome talent but we can't keep him on the field. I can't gauge his value.

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?

Or you allow your decision making to be affected by the fact that you need to save your ass.

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.
