Left tackles don't change franchises, ask the Browns with Joe Thomas.

They help, and they are important, and I'm a huge fan of drafting them in the first but this idea that they are exponentially better than any other non-QB relative in regard to WAR is just wrong.

QBs are in a league of their own when it comes to changing franchises.

 

First round QBs are hardly a sure thing either, ask Panthers fans about Sam Darnold (former first round pick).  When you have a known commodity, you take it.  The top three OTs are as solid as they come.  Not one of these QBs are considered a lock to be franchise QBs.  Heck none of them should even start their rookie season.

There are 3 highly-rated edge rushers.  I see 2 being gone by #6---a team with a need could move up with us to get (the kid from purdue) or we could move back if a team wants an elite OT--if we were going to take a QB. That means we could draft the QB around #13 and have a second rounder for OL--not sure that is what I would do, just sayin'.

For example, Philly was 28th in sacks in 2021.  They have three first rounders--a second rounder to move up for an elite sack master?

You really gotta chill. Find a way to voice your opinions in a more intelligent manner. You get way too emotionally involved in other people's opinions on draft prospects that none of us have a magic crystal ball to see how they'll ultimately turn out in the NFL.

Said about every highly touted OL prospect ever. Robert Gallery was considered a once in a decade type OT prospect.

Do you really want me to roll out a list of top 10 QBs who were complete busts?  There are a TON more 'JaMarcus Russell's' in this scenario than 'Robert Gallery's.'

We know. But you don't want to go through the list of 1st round OL busts over the last two decades. OL used to be one of the safest 1st round picks a team could make but they has gotten dumped on its head in the past 20 years. 

That's all I'm saying here. That "OL safe pick" myth is dead.

Someone is going to take him in the top 10. He is worth it. 

Does your connection have any intel on Ridder’s stock? 

Willis I can see why looking at the greater body of work and the kid himself. He had some pretty bad moments this year with the whole players around him and comp level factors. Just a lot of unknowns.

His size also bothers me but I see a bit of Kordell Stewart when watching him.

These same people saying you’re crazy for wanting to take Willis in the top 10 are the same ones who were super excited about giving up a high second round pick for Sam fuging Darnold lol

I want willis but I’m not sure this staff knows how to develop qbs and he’s gonna need developing because he is raw. He has super elite traits tho.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      The #Panthers explored the possibility of adding Jaire Alexander, but there was never an offer made, a league source told @theobserver.   https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1935436577649401872?s=46

      Young, been named Top Riser for 2025

      Yes I agree, the future RT could easily be christ. When he shocking re-signed here for the cheap, he said part of the reason was the OL coaching staff.  I've already thought too much about 2026. The RT has all the options, including resigning Motown. I was never a big fan, but he's solid and peptides and stem cells can fix a gippy knee. If he makes it though this year and wants to return, why not for 2 years 16 million?? Or like you said give the job to Christ or draft your RT...... that I feel is the best current method. With both OGs in the 20 million per cap range and Icky......ooooooooooo boy he could be the first 30 million per OLmen in NFL history. That's a huge portion of cap space for the OL, which I agree with, but in order to offset those 20 and 30 million deals... you need cheap rookie contracts. (unless Motown would take a huge pay cut and whoever the C will be).  This is the deepest OL I can recall in Panthers history.  I believe Morgan should try and trade either Kingston or Zavala.  I didn't even talk about Yosh, Tarquin, or Walton. Yosh is same age as christ and why not him as RT after good swing tackle years? Tarquin is a UDFA on the prayer program, 150,000 in guarantees and why not him in 2026? Walton seems to be a OL coach favorite, he followed the Tampa Bay staff here after 2 years there and add in one year here, he's stuck around for some reason. I think they need to spend very light on RT and Panthers have lots of options, I love it.
