I think he very well could be and what frustrates me is that if we'd played him more there last year we'd likely have a much better idea on this question than we do currently.

Absolutely, we knew by midseason we weren't going anywhere with what we had.  BC had a far larger upside than anything we kept trotting out there.  All that I kept thinking of was Rhule doing a Rivera and playing veterans over rookies.   

I also thought we should have put Brown out there and let him work on his craft.  We blew a great opportunity to evaluate the younger talent on this team because Rhule was being bullheaded.

Idunno how much stock anyone is to put is PFF. But FWIW, 

Cross: 86.7

Ickey: 91.6

Neal: 85.8

Lastly,

Christensen broke the PFF record for overall grade by a tackle at 96.0

Keep in mind Greg Little was 75.8 and All-SEC. 

As far as me, even if Brady is in our plans at LT, after the years we've had to endure previously, I'd make sure LT was no longer a problem for this franchise going forward. LT at 6.

It is probably hard to find a worse predictor of success than PFF college ratings.

Hence why their NFL draft big boards are usually so unbelievably bad.

Like Linville, this was one of my biggest frustrations about this past year.  Even if somebody was a wild optimist, we were 5-7 by the bye week and had five games left.  Our OL stunk.  At that point, if not before, BC should have been trotted out as the LT and Brown should have gotten plenty of snaps at G.

It sure would be nice to know exactly what we got in last year's draft.  But, we do know that BC is versatile, which apparently is more important than being decent - good - great at one position.  One minor position, like, oh, I don't know, LT.

What do you believe?

I believe ge should have gotten more snaps at LT so we arent asking this fuging question going into such an important draft. If for no other reason, Rhule should have to answer for this terrible mismanagement.

Passing on a LT because you have Christensen would be like passing on a QB because you have Daniel Jones.

The difference is you have more than 3 game tape of of DJ playing his natural position. BC is an unknown in the league can’t tell you if he bad, average or great

Another difference is BC is a year older than Jones. Hopefully BC can show us something before he turns 30. lol

“There’s people in the building that believe he can be the left tackle.”
 

Imagine if our staff last year had actually played him there in a lost season and found that answer before we go into a critical draft with little to no draft picks. 
 

man, week six of this season can’t come soon enough. I think Rhule gets six games and when we start 1-5 he’s sent packing.

Yep.

If the vets suck, do you really have anything to lose by playing the rookies? Especially if you're out of contention. It was just baffling to watch.

What were their OT rankings last year?

Also what big boards do you feel are good?

Im stil hot over that, not just the OL, but EVERYONE that was young - Shi Smith, TMJ, TREMBLE!!!!!!!, taylor alll could/should have gotten more reps/snaps. Dumb as all hell not to do that. Nothing replaces in game snaps.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
