Possible line configuration

I’m not sure BC will make a good guard in general. He could be a solid LT, but we didn’t get a good look last year. I really like Cross, but I’m not sure he could slide over to guard either. BC might just have to be depth unless he can play center. 

Every time we played BC at guard last year he got overpowered.  He just doesn't appear to be "that guy".  I just don't understand anyone who continues to push him into a position he just doesn't seem to fit.

We saw consistent improvement at LT.  Unfortunately, in the midst of a terrible season we managed to get to the end of it without knowing if we had an NFL LT on the roster.  It's just . . . dumb.

So now, we're going to draft some guy in the top 10 to be a LT.  And it's really hard to argue against it.  But it's going to mean that our 3rd rounder from last year is a flop.  Worse, he could end up going to another team and becoming a decent LT.

This staff is so frustrating.

Carolina desperately needs Olineman, this is the draft to make the front 5 formidable.

Doing that will make your QB odds soooo much better, for FA and for draftees.

Grab Ikey and pick up Norwell and our left side has some aggression. Play the guard we drafted at RG and let BC be a backup swing tackle, nothing wrong with getting a good swing tackle from your 3rd round pick

Having 3 competent linemen would help BC and Elf or whoever is out there. 

Would be nice to land a Bozeman, Karras, Laken, or Corbett. Unsure about Norwell.

I don’t really think BC is some long term answer. I know we want him to be but it may just not be the case. Potentially great backup/serviceable starter at times.

[Jon Snow]

I'm not seeing a pro bowl guard in BC as Rhule puts it.  Wherever Rhule puts him he gets bull rushed back it the qb. If he's not cut out for tackle then they better take one in this draft. They also better find some mean ass guards somewhere.

Suggested by Joe Person...

Try out this potential Week 1 offensive line for size:

Left tackle Charles Cross, left guard Andrew Norwell, center Pat Elflein, right guard Brady Christensen, right tackle Taylor Moton.

What we learned at The Combine

Also from Joe's write up:

- Panthers want to get a deal done with Donte Jackson before free agency begins 

- QB Desmond Ridder impressed the coaching staff at the combine 

- Look for the team to go after UFA P Pat O-Donnell

If we take Cross the. I hope we wait on QB until 2023. We don’t need yet another mediocre bridge QB.

Jeremy Fowler said we are going to make a run at Mitch Tribusky.

Lol. Some things never fuging change. I hate this FO so much. They still don’t have a clear plan, do they. Year 3 of rebuild and we’ve gone from Teddy to Sam to Cam back to Sam and now Mitch?  

We have a plan. poo the bed. poo it again. poo all over the place.

WTF did we trade pick 70 to the Jaguars for CJ? If we sign Donte then CJ, like Tremble and Marshall were wasted day 2 picks replaced by big money FA deals to meh vets.

If CJ can play at a high enough level it offsets the 3rd rounder.  The buzz was he would be able to break thru with a change of environment(sound familiar?). Unfortunately, I haven’t been wowed by the return on investment yet and don’t have confidence in the coaching staffs ability to coach him up.  
 

As a fan of the team, I wish I could argue with you but sadly, I can’t.

We extended Robby right after taking Marshall in the 2nd right before Humphrey. We extended Thomas after taking Tremble in the 3rd and he looked decent. Now we want to extend Donte after trading away pick 70 (solid IOL draft spot) so CJ can be Horn/Donte’s backup. 

No argument here.  I come here, see all the negative comments and desperately want to defend my team but cannot.

Have you ever heard of slot corner? There’s minimum of 3 corners on the field at all times with frequent packages involving 4. Cj will be a starter next year unless we retain both Gilmore and Donte, which will not happen.

CJ didn’t play the slot much at all for us. Has he played there before? Bouye and Hartsfield did and both are on the 2022 roster as well. If we sign Donte, I don’t expect CJ to be a starter except for injury.

Yeah Bouye should be slot unless he gets cut/traded.
