Still hoping for an LT at #6 who will be on a rookie contract for the next few years.  That said ... I would be happy with either Arm or Brown. 

Put him next to Brown and we are solid across the line.  Still think Brown is our LG.  If it weren't for Rhule wanting his OL to be track stars and capable of playing several positions, he would have been the starter already.  We need an IOL that is the best at playing IOL.  Save the flexibility for backups.

 

if we draft a rookie LT, then brady can move to LG.

Resigning Jackson tells me we are out on signing a FA LT

could be wrong but Jackson wasn’t cheap and took a chunk of the remaining space 

We still have plenty of money.

I would for the off chance we want a pass rusher at 6

I don't think they re-signed Elf to sit on the bench. He's likely penciled in at starting guard where they wanted him last year. 10 OL on the roster atm. Panthers have Christensen listed as a tackle.

Christensen will likely compete with Erving for the starting LT. I wish they would get rid of Erving.

I have no issues with Brown as a 1-2 year bandaid while BC continues to develop.  

add cross to the equation, and we should have a solid line for a while

Not sure why anyone would be against it. He’s a very good LT…age aside and would be cheaper. We should have learned our lesson with signing Kalil over Whitworth before. The guy just won a super bowl and was still playing great

Yes, Brady can play guard or tackle.  However, Brown still needs a legitimate look.  He may be the better player for that position.  Would be happy if either worked out well.

We have 19-27 mill left. Plenty of space

From what I’m hearing the new o-line coach really likes Brady at LT. If they think he can do it I can see them trading down or possibly getting Hamilton.

Hamilton? After just investing in another safety? So we want an all safety defense?

they need to cut erving (maybe at the cost of dead money). i want brad at guard and we draft one of the top new tackles. We can probably trade down for a 4th or 5th tackle and still be able to get what most fans wanted, a QB. I would try to secure a top tackle though. i dont really like late round picks. 

elf is pedestrian too. send him packing with erving too.

duane brown is mighty old and coming off the worst season in his career. i'd approach this with caveat.

this is the year of OT in the draft. we should capitalize on that.

Should have drafted a QB last year or previous year (not justin fields though) when those two years produce transcendental QBs. this is not the year for QB. Let's not make the same mistake again. Pick strength, not weakness.
