How can you not be excited about this pick based off of Campen's reaction.  He really wanted this guy, and we got him.  Many of us have played sports or still do.  You know that feeling when you nail a shot to win the game.  You react just like this.  

If I wasn't excited before, I am now.

This isn't just applicable to Zavala, but it's nice to see the Panthers finally getting guys from the local schools.

Does make me wonder though, if NCSU's oline was this good a couple of years ago, why was their run game one of the worst in the ACC?

If he can take BC's job at LG, then BC becomes our OT depth as the swing T. Then he takes over RT when Moton's contract hits $30m.   At G, we then have Mays (who looked good in brief duty last year) and Corbett--and McCray behind Zavala and Corbett.  Mays and McCray can play C and G.

I don’t mind if every year  they make Campen happy with a Olinemen pick..

 
The Panthers came to terms with these 2 undrafted rookie OL right after the draft — OT Ricky Lee (North Carolina A&T) — OG Nash Jensen (North Dakota State).

Yeah, Brady is cool but Campen loves him some tough Motherfugers or what he said when he cussed like 10 times in his opening presser last year. They didn't outright say it but I could see Brady going back to swing tackle/starting right guard while Corbett is out and letting the NC state boys road grade on the left side with Boze in the middle. After Bryce the theme seems to be dudes not scared to hit, which is something we've had an issue with for a while

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
