Signing Armstead would make a ton of sense from a strictly personnel standpoint. Proven LT that pushes BC inside. Allows you to trade down and pick up more draft capital and could very likely still come away with a guy like Linderbaum or Ekonwu.

I would be surprised if we sign a LT to draft a QB.

Hes hurt.  He is on the wrong side of 30.  We have tried this before (hello Kalil) and it severely handicaps you.  Plus for him to come here we would have to throw the bank at him.

So was Trent Williams and the same exact argument was made on him on this same message board. Now everyone is mad we didn't sign him. 

Matt Kalil was never good even before he signed. That's the difference.

Too many good tackles in this year's draft (on a rookie deal, keep in mind) to take a swipe at an aging, very highly paid OT with injury concerns.

And that's a fair argument. To be honest, I REALLY like Cross. 

But if we think Armstead can be healthy (big IF), it's also very intriguing to have something like Armstead + Linderbaum/Ekonwu + additional draft pick instead of only Cross.

Williams was never a F/A.   And I would rather not take my chances giving someone record money who is already hurt when we can simply draft a guy.

Bouye and Daley are the only players that make a whole lot of sense to part ways with.  That's only $6 million in savings, which translates in free agency to acquiring one pretty decent player or a couple of above average guys. In the grand scheme of things, not much difference.

      Nick Scott

      Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
