For the most part we have gotten good reports on what the panthers want to do at 6, as far as what they send to want at that spot. 
 

Lots of OT talk whether it be Cross, Neal, or Icky. Obviously that is ideal for us. I’m ready for Thursday to be here. Let’s get this line finished up and have it steady for the next 5 years.

and #11 is a much more reasonable spot for a guard, and #13 for a center, were gonna be dominating so much TOP these next few seasons

hopefully the league changes the rules to structure playoff seeding by that kind of thing

Cross is my #1 player in the draft. If we can manage to get him at #6 I'll be thrilled.

Cross has the best feet by far to play LT. Ikem, while a mauler, is very unpolished in pass protection. Neal is in the middle but lacks the mean streak you’d think a guy his size would have.

Cross, Neal and then Ikem for me.

I'm reversed. Ikem, Cross, Neal. I agree Cross is a better pass protector but we can't pass the ball very well and likely won't for a while longer. I'd prefer we just go straight maul, mean and nasty. With our defense and RBs we could win like that. Maybe add another downhill guy into the rotation and we'd have 2 finesse and 2 power backs to mix up. Backfield by committee and replacements for injuries to keep things running. Pun intended.

The Walter football guys compared Cross to Ronnie Stanley. I think out of the tackles the thought on Cross is he’s the most agile and while he may not be a great pass blocker that’s attributed to him needing to bulk up. Idt you’re going to go wrong with either him or Icky at 6. No matter what we should come out of this draft with a stud starting left tackle…..finally.

Agreed.

I'd have no problem with Neal or Ekwonu but Cross is by far my favorite.

Cross is a great pass blocker, the best in this class. It's the run blocking he needs to work on because they didn't do much of it. But yeah, I wouldn't worry about either of these guys. We are so used to poor LT play that whoever is our guy they'll look like a generational Hofer compared to what we're used to seeing.

His age, frame and athleticism will allow him to add 20lbs of muscle easily.   Kid is a beast.  I rank them icky, cross then Neal.  Would be happy with either

pauline seems confident he has a good pulse on what Carolina wants to do. He wrote again yesterday that Cross won’t fall past Carolina, and also hinted that plenty teams have him over Neal. We’ve also seen reports that there’s at least one team that has Cross as their top ranked player in the entire draft, there’s definitely a part of me that wonders if that could be us.

I somewhat suspected that Neal wasn't universally loved as a high caliber prospect.

I doubt we spend a first or 2nd on the qb of the future without bring him in and evaluating his knee or interviewing him.   And please spare me the Wilson anecdote 

Who said 1st or 2nd?

We're talking 4th thru 6th round.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By Basbear · Posted

      Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.

      There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.

      Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
