Mays was chosen because he has the tool and now he has one of the best O-line coaches in the game.  We are clearly looking to pound the hell out of teams on the ground.  

You have to give credit to Fitterer because they said O-line was a priority and we add a couple of solid vets and two rookies that could possibly start.  That doesn't count our very good 2021 rookie Brady Christensen.   

It's not going to be impossible for us to believe our worst unit, by far, becomes one of our best units in one off season.

The line had so many soft guys on it last year. Physical talent is great but that unit needs to be tough. It looked like Iike a wet noodle 4/5s of the time most of the year in 21.

Bring it young man. Great to hear.

This is why we always need to grab an OL in the late round as well. They seem to have higher success rates than other positions in the later rounds. It looks like we might actually have some OL depth now. 

100%.   I think we should be drafting at least 2 linemen per draft.   You literally cannot have enough of these guys.

This year I think Mays will be the backup RG.  My question is who is the starting LG?  Elf, Erving, BC or Brown?  I mean Mays isn't out of the question, but he's best suited to stay on the right side where he's taken a majority of his snaps, IIRC.  Ultimately I'd like to see either BC or Brown win LG as the other two are out the door after this season.  Speaking of which, if either of those two (Erving, Elflein) can't win the starting LG spot, that's a LOT of money tied up into backups.  Yes, their dead cap is significant enough that riding the bench is better than cutting them outright.

Outside of Moton, last year's OL starters will likely be backups this year and last year's backups are likely cut after camp.   What difference one year makes!

      Another Guard?? Small ball was just a meme right?????   Again can anyone confirm Kon had more than 2 dunks for the season?? I watched more highlights and saw lots of layups. Did see one thunder dunk tho...   Jeff just needs to finish this off-season with a guard package trade for a PF/C. Call Portland, that's a start!

      XL treatment is in the top 5 What The Fuccks for the the huddle. It just happens that the 32nd team and 33rd team GMs knew each other very well. Panthers viewed the 5th year option as being worth a late 6th and a trade was made to make XL a 1st rounder.  He had injuries in OTAs, mini camp and TC. Like others had more injuries in season and just kept playing. Half the season was bad BY and dalton. He still had 500 yds, 5 TDs, and like 45 recs.  Just super weird the treatment. BTW people love to focus on the bad plays, but there was only one WR that caught a TD on the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, can you guess who that was?? By many accounts the Pats wanted XL badly and had to select Polk instead, there's strong rumors that Polk is either going to be cut or traded for a 2078 7th rounder. Panthers could have easily been in this situation if not for the Bills allowing the trade up. It pays to have friends.... I feel XL will force some fans to plates of raccoon as he develops. (please stay healthy)
