Panthers now looking at pick 33 for center?

We now need a center to anchor the scheme Canales wants to run. I guess they will be going all in on Young, like it or not. Something is cooking in the front office to get a qualified replacement for Boseman. They cut him and he would have been a good backup.

Either FA or pick 33 to find the guy. The draft has a few guys that could be the rock in the middle.

Looks to me like they will have to go draft and try and find that guy they believe can develop.

Maybe WR in FA and hope for the best

 

What u got?

Powers Johnson or Graham Barton. Both of them are good enough to be gone before we pick though. 

I'm not sure there's a ton of other options that are worth 33 overall without reaching. I'd look for a trade down if neither drop to us 

Trading Burns would help a lot in rebuilding the o line. Maybe R2 and R3

I am very worried about a reach in the draft.

Would Zach Frazier, the Center out of West Virginia, be a good pick at the beginning of the 2nd round?

 

He is very strong but not real agile.  In a wide zone, I would doubt it.  The kid from Georgia with 4 last names in mid round 3 or so is a better option, but I am not the expert here.  I liked Frazier because I saw Bozeman getting bull rushed last year, but in the Wide Zone, less of an issue.

at 33 you probably would be getting the best or close to it center that is on your board.  At 33 you are probably getting the 8ish best wr, so I guess its how the value the positions.   Getting the number one center in the draft, while not sexy, would be incredibly helpful

It depends on how it all falls into place. I would rather we go BPA than have to draft purely on need.

no picks and little cap space

 

fuging fitterer was a piece of work

What pisses me off?  For the past few years, mocking season has been the best part of my year.  It is so messed up now, I can't mock draft with any degree of personal enjoyment.  You took that from me Fitterer!! You bastard.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
