Yeah, our IOL is a fuging mess. It's somehow worse than our OT's. 

It would be a little shocking to see us spend that kind of coin on an OG but I would understand if they are perhaps going all in on Ekwonu one last time at LT. Perhaps having an elite LG would be a big help.

Either way, we have to upgrade that OL. That one of the biggest of the offseason.

Christensen is likely to move to RT after Moton, assuming we re-sign him and we can for cheap. As of now, he's the swing tackle.  We probably cut Moton after this season.  Cap savings are too great and good RTs aren't too hard to find at a much cheaper price tag.  I'd rather go ahead and extend BC now and get out ahead of this.

All that being said, addressing guard...LG in particular, should be paramount because no matter what happens to BC, he's not the LG of the future.

it's a good draft for RT.  we might pick one up and let him learn for a year behind Moton.

I'd rather draft a RG to learn behind Corbett for a season.  Assuming he's healthy, his cap figure is too great to cut this season.  Corbett is gone when the season is over.  Moton theoretically could play for us in 2025 if we want him at that cap figure.  If that's the case, we just drafted a guy that won't see the field much until 2026.

I am not sure really where BC fits. Honestly, probably as a starter in a zone blocking scheme, which doesn't fit with what we have built the rest of the OL for here.

Ideally, he's a top tier backup if we had built our line properly.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
