Icky is a superior run blocker (by a lot), Cross is the superior pass blocker (by a lot) and Neal is the freak that does both okay.

If they cannot trade out, it wouldnt surprise me to see Cross go 1 overall just because of the passing offense that peterson will install.

 

Before the draft season started I was confident we would have a shot at 2 of the 3, now I am just hoping one of the 3 falls to us.   Part of me does wonder however what would Hamilton on this defense look like,

I think Cross makes it to 6 and I would be happy with him there

Too bad Rhule is taking Pickett

If Cross, Icky, or Neal are there at 6 it would be hard not to pick them. If not, I think it’s wide open for QB or trade down or who knows.

I have a feeling that Neal is the one that slides to us if I were to guess.  Icky has all but caught Neal on many BBs I've seen, if not surpassed him, and Cross keeps getting higher too.  Cross has the best ceiling as a pure pass pro LT, Icky behind him and whereas Neal has the lowest ceiling.  I think the two guys that have the ability to take the next step as franchise LTs may end up ahead of Neal.

I think Neal could be a very good starting LT in the NFL.   But his best position may really be at Guard.   He has All Pro potential there, especially if he plays for a run-centric offense like the Ravens, Browns or Titans.  With his massive size and nasty demeanor, Neal would shine blowing holes open for the RB.

Neal and BC on the left with Moton and FA/Brown/late pick on the right with Elf in the center would be a huge jump with our new OL coach. Brown and Neal in general would add so much weight/power on the line. It would also help CMC have cleaner holes and take less hits.

Icky is a ridiculous run blocker. As a State fan I’m terrified of what our offense will look like without him. As a Panthers fan I’m drooling thinking about how many holes he could open for CMC. His pass blocking skills are excellent as well and will be an upgrade regardless. 
 

The Panthers are a mockery right now. If they found a way to get a good vet QB AND draft Icky then I honestly think we go from outhouse to penthouse in one season….

If one of those teams grab Hamilton or QB we should be able to get Cross. 

I think Cross is going to be there regardless.  The T from State may go earlier--but Cross is one of those guys that mockers fail to value and flies in under the radar---

I am not confident that we can take advantage of the #6 pick if we do not go OL---

If Cross, Icky, and Neal are gone by 6 then trade down might be best. If Cross is there I hope we just take him and have an immediate starter on the left side to pair with BC.

I think the combine is going to do wonders for his draft stock.  He is going to put up crazy numbers and a team in the top 5 will be blown away with his athleticism

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
