No burrow available...upgrade OL.

Who are you wanted to draft to replace who on the OL?? We have a rookie LT who looks the part and Moton is a lock for RT with his contract and performance. So you are spending a first to upgrade one of the 2 solid OGs or a C? If we extend Bozeman a C isn’t needed.

Yes upgrade inside and you have better line with solid depth.yes im spending a first on that for sure. Skoronski. Best lineman in the draft. Instead of a hit or miss qb I prefer  building the line.

Not at all. There’s a large gap between Darnold and Burrow. 

Yes.my pt exactly.upgrading over Arnold wasnt your argument, Burrow was , and again no Burrow available. You set Burrow as the standard.Back to pt , better to elevatethe line.

Any GM that considers drafting IOL in the top 10 should get fired.

With the possible exception of a good team holding that pick due to a prior trade with an obvious need at IOL. But a team that's there because they suck cannot afford to spend a premium pick like that on IOL. That's worse than picking a RB

Drafting best lineman is always a good consideration, especially when the qb situation doesnt offer you that franchise player you need.Building a great line improves the whole offense. Thats not fireable or debatable.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
