If he’s LT I definitely want to trade down.  I’m not very high on any of these QBs, but I have a nauseating feeling it’s going to be Pickett

I noticed Fitt immediately jumped into BC’s versatility mentioning he can play LG or even RG if needed. That makes me think he is considering LTs in this draft. I’m personally not sure how good BC would be at LG, but he looked solid at LT. We could run Cross, BC, FA/later pick, Brown, Moton and have a solid young line.

I think Christensen can hold down the LT spot and get better the more he plays.  Take a C or even a G and you have Moton, Brown, Drafted C, Drafted G (or FA), and Christensen and let them play together and be a cohesive unit.

 

I would say go after the best center in free agency--I think they are looking to Brown to take the Miller spot at RG.  With BC as a developing LT, we could be closer than we think.  If we plan to start BC and DBrown, I would focus on some free agent veterans or we could have another disaster.  Erv and Elf need to go.

I’m really high on Cross, so if we move BC to guard and go that way, I’d be totally fine with it.  The more good pieces on OL the better.  Not getting my hopes up that whoever we draft is actually gonna get playing time, though

Hopefully our new OC will get some input on playing time…

Might be me reading too much into it but I feel like his choice of words, "A lot of people say..." when talking about the arm length was quite interesting. Specifically because that's exactly what Rhule said and Fitt negated it.

Definitely caught this too. Lowkey confirmed that passing on Slater was Rhule's call. 

I'll give the front office this much: Someone said Tepper reads the huddle and other fan sites and I absolutely believe that. Fitt and Rhule appear aware of all the criticism being tossed their way and the timing of the decisions lately seem like they're in direct response.  Having fun imagining Tepper calling Rhule into his office to watch a slideshow of huddle hate.

I agree going with Moton, Brown, and Christensen we may not be far off from a better line.

Why did we ever sign Erving and Elflein to 2 year contracts?  I guess they can be scrub backups.

Paradis's contract was restructured so even though he's done, his contract is the gift that keeps on giving.

      Ex-Panthers great Steve Smith sued under 'homewrecker law' for alleged affair.

      By NAS · Posted

      Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.

      The Athletic's "Undrafted Player to Watch"

      That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly.

      The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
