According to another article I read written by Newton, Elflein had (going from memory--did not save the link) something like a 64 PFF grade as a guard, and was rated at 90 (above Moton's 87) as a center.  Perhaps Newton is basing his assumption about Elflein on these numbers.

Isn’t a PFF rating of 50 “average” to them?  His play definitely seemed below average, so if that’s average may God help us.  Our interior is horrific.  We need OL help, period.  Trade down and get more picks?  Great!  Pick the stud at 6?  Great!  I don’t care how they do it, but this line is so devoid of talent aside from a couple guys.

I told you after about 3 weeks of Elf playing C, he wasnt dogshit and maybe can be counted on for future. Hes not in Kalil of "not worry about finding a upgrade." Panthers need help and if Elf can limit for one less "find replacement" thats soooooo needed. 

My OL hope is as follows-

LT- 2022 1st(even with trading back)

LG- Chirst

C-Elf

RG- FA or Brown or Erv or trade or UDFA savior or PS surpise

RT- Moton

Still need swing tackle, 6th OLman, young project in order for 8 men game day jerseys. Need a miracle worker as OL coach too.

Sign James Daniels in free agency. 24 year old guard with experience at center. 5 years/50 mil. This locks up a guard spot with positional flexibility. 
 

Then we can try Elf at center and see if it works through the first third of the 22 season. 
 

Im currently undecided between targeting a QB or T in the 1st. Right now I would love to trade back and pick Cross somewhere in the 10-15 range and acquire some day 2 picks. 
 

I would be hopeful with a line of 

Cross-Christensen-Elf-Daniels-Moton

QB in 23 and try to sign Trubisky to compete with Darnold in 22 (aka start over Darnold).

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      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.
