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

Injuries happen frequently to O.L. Players like every other position. We were really fortunate last year to keep everyone healthy until the last game. The last thing a rookie quarterback needs to worry about is a a weak offensive lineman.

This was consistently one of the guys I had been picking in mock drafts. He's extremely good and incredible value getting him this late in the draft. 

I think him and Cade Mays could easily sub in for Corbett and Christensen if they arent 100 percent by game 1. Now we have extremely good depth at OG.

Good video. I could see this guy stepping into the LG spot fairly early, freeing up Christiansen to play SwingT.

Zavala seems to be a great choice but lets not start replacing players for the best O-line we have had in years.  Christensen should remain a starter whether right or left side.  Corbett is down for a while so I could see Christensen moving to the right while he heals.  Unless Zavala comes in and absolutely blows Christensen out of the line up.  I don't see him replacing him any time soon.

I'm not suggesting he will. I'm saying it wouldn't surprise me if he does. I could see it. I could also see him just being a solid backup for years. I hope for the former. Again, realistically imagining someone surpassing expectations isn't the same as predicting it. Especially given that Zavala is a more natural guard than Christiansen.

I don't think it's that far fetched. Christensen was ok but wasn't drafted by current HC or OL coach.

The day three presser Reich made a comment basically saying what I said.

I'm not suggesting that he will become a starter quickly but I'd think by next year it's a decent chance. Campen clearly likes him.

JMO but BC is better suited at T than at G. He did an adequate job at LG but I think his playing there was more about Rhule saving face after the ridiculous “arms length” discussions. I’m not saying Zavala or anyone else should be immediately inserted at LG but it’s all about putting players in the best position to help the team as opposed to the “square peg, round hole” way we typically do things here.

      What Carolina Panthers can learn from Justin Jefferson contract

      By Waldo · Posted

      He is a really good WR and they have a rookie QB so they can afford it. Look at what they have been wasting on Cousins for years? That's where this cap came from lol. Now the guaranteed money is high but Minny had to keep him while taking a shot on a rookie QB.

      Albert Breer talks about Dave Canales

      By Waldo · Posted

      Johnson is very smart IMO. He will get paid either way but avoiding a terrible spot can save your career too. He looks to be working the system and good for him. I always thought hiring interviews go both ways and have been disappointed watching people not realize this. He handled DC roughly but it was also funny because he did see them as what they are which is a new ownership group, even with Petters, he would be likely be destined for failure there while they figure out the normal learning curve of the NFL.  It's not lying it's just 'your great but I can't say what your not because that is taboo'. Sometimes lies are expected if the truth isn't what they want.  I agree generally. Ron was doing great work as a DC where he put in 6 years as DC at 2 teams vs Canales 1 year as OC before becoming a HC. Ron is such a known quantity by now, he earned his 2nd shot as a HC and it went as expected given his proclivities. Offense is just safer in this NFL vs Defense so any one that can score will get a look. Ryans is a beast but how do you think he fairs without Slowick? Which HCs were in the SB? Offensive guys. It's a thing and makes laughing about TB, Atlanta and NO all having beatable defensive coaches the Panthers still can't beat LOL. It's a dump. If your building a career the Panthers are a long shot. If you are taking a shot, getting paid and/or ready to grow from this failure then this is a great option. I think the jobs are extremely valuable on many levels but there is always a turd in the punchbowl with Tepper. Hurney, Rhule, Friterer, now Caldwell and maybe Morgan. Tepper always leaves some dookie around to contaminate the next batch...they literally help him fug up the next time. It's Tepper's MO, spend lots of money and lean on past failures into new failures. There has not been a truly fresh start under Tepper yet which explains why he keeps failing.
