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

      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.
