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!

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
