Don't sleep on a guard, I think the Panthers need more interior help with Corbett's injury and there are some nice options available, particularly Torrence

Yes indeed, I would say always be on the lookout for good line on both sides. That said, usually there are good prospects to be had in later rounds for guards.

Porter

 

 

Washington, Mayer, Ojulari

 

Those 4 or bust for me. I will be dissapointed if neither of them are the pick.

 

Porter is definitely the best prospect on the board though. I will be shocked if he isn't the first pick tomorrow especially from the Steelers for who his dad played for.

Yea, CB is a position of need for the Steelers, he's the best non QB or TE on the board right now and they don't need either of those.  

Porter makes sense to them before you even factor in his dad into the equation.  Just knowing how that organization operates, there is no way they're passing up on drafting Porter Jr, it's the most Steelers type of pick ever.

Yeah BC is already practicing and Cade Mays should be solid while Corbett is rehabbing. We're bringing in 20 UDFA's and I bet 5 of those will be O-line and 1 or 2 will look ok

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