When it comes to O-line, we've got to quit being the suckers that always buy the old beater that was only driven on Sundays by a little old lady. Maybe this is one of those better to pass ons.

We've got a couple of good vet pick ups to help solidify the line. Let's build with some youth there.

This is what happens when you have a team led by guys who are not that bright. First, they failed to fix the o-line problem that clearly existed last season, now they go into overkill mode and try to spend too many resources on the problem. Classic Panthers blunder. On the other hand, we're not really in trouble unless we draft a 2022 QB. I'm somewhat ok with this overkill, but just don't draft any Pickles level QBs in this draft.

That doesnt make any sense.  Thats eerily similar to last year in what people were saying about slater.  If Cross can play LT he can play LT

Did I say Cross cannot play LT?

I said I did not see his value at #6 overall.  I think he'd be there at #12, so if we could add a second rounder and trade back (for Cross or Penning) I would do it. 

Makes perfect sense.  If you think Cross is worth the #6, fine.

Like the Rams did when they signed Andrew Wentworth and we signed Matt Kahlil?

Looking at the FA's we're picking up, I agree Cross doesn't seem to fit that downhill run blocking scheme they seem to be building. I do think someone will get impatient and wanna move up for a CB/DE, maybe even Jordan Davis

No offense to Armstead but I confess I'm kinda wanting to draft a left tackle.

Mostly because this is a good class for them but also partly because I really don't want to draft any of the quarterbacks.

I think the fact that we are even firmly in the discussion for Armstead points to us using our 1st on a QB. They are trying to shore up deficiencies and put the best team possible around a young QB. Which….is the right thing to do. Just not sure it’s right class to do it with. 
 

My thought is that they are going to go with Pickett bc he is “the most NFL ready.” Put talent around him. Then if he sucks just keep swinging. If he’s good then you’re golden.

How about a wild card pick with Jordan Davis at 6?  After we sign Armstead of course.

now that we are keeping derrick brown for sure, davis would be a bit overkill at the position. i think the idea was to pair brown with someone who can play the three technique like matt ioannidis has who can rush the passer and can get thin enough to take advantage of other teams needing extra help on brown. think some version of star and kk short with brown playing star. for all the edge pressure we got last season with burns, haynes, and reddick we didn't get much from the tackle beside brown. davis is probably going to play over the ball a bit like brown.

Just can't make up my mind what the hell kind of defense we are gonna run.  I guess it makes it hard to know who I want on draft day, and why

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      No poo tho you might could Jenkins for Legette. They got nothing at WR after the big 2 in Cincy. I don’t think you trade away OL depth. Could get a quality player in cuts. Really that 3-4 end spot what you should be looking for is someone who is stout with long arms and can push back the OL in both the run and pass game for others to make plays…. But we signed Wharton, sometimes I think Evero is a fraud ass nerd who should be an analyst at best.

      you would honestly probably do Monroe Freeling more of a disservice by putting him in a position where is not yet ready to succeed. .we all knew Monroe Freeling struggled at the NFL combine in drills because of technique related issues & would need time to develop  & now all of a sudden before they even put the pads on Monroe Freeling is somehow a starting LT in the NFL ? if he struggled at the NFL scouting combine what do you actually think is going to happen in a live NFL game at LT ? .even our best LT of all time was not ready to start at LT when he was a rookie & he turned out to be a pretty good darn LT by the name of Jordan Gross ...just saying be patient Young Jedis

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying
