Looks like Corbett to C, 2 new OGs, BC to swing T, Ickey and Moton at starting OTs.

Yup, and we still have Zavala, Mays and Jensen as backup guards.  Lee as another backup OT.   That's a standard OL quantity for a 53 man roster.  I still would like to draft a center on day 3. 

The focus of the draft, however, has shifted to the defense.  Outside of a needed WR, we have to reload our D.

There was talks about lewis playing center in 2022

fyi- https://www.si.com/nfl/seahawks/gm-report/analysis-could-damien-lewis-be-seahawks-center-in-2022

 

plus draft nuts said he could be one as well..

While Corbett did play some at center during his time with the Browns, his experience and success at guard will be crucial for Carolina.  (taken from an article I have not linked)

So in order to try and savage Byce Young they are dropping 150+ million(90 guaranteed) on OGs??

Trading and selecting Byce Young was a real curse. 

 

It’s a good plan for a short QB. Then if he fails again, you select another QB who has some talent at o line

I imagine Carolina will still spend one of their Day 2 picks on a C. Corbett has played the role but seems to perform better at OG hence why he has been placed there by the Browns and Rams prior. 

That would be a good start a shoring up the OL. Any idea how serious this Higgins trade talks is?

Memes aside, once those 6'5 330LB monsters put on shoulder pads and helmet, NO QB can see over them. 

They'd have to consistently be over 6'8 to always have a clear line of sight over the OL. It's just the most ridiculous of critiques.

That's what the saints had with brees.

Really need it to work out with Bryce. I have my doubts, but if he could show us something next season, then we can finally start to really load this team up the right way. Otherwise, atleast the new QB will have a solid line.

Yea it's over used and false.  About the only QB I know of that may have seen over was brock osweiler in cleat lifts. Every single QB including young can not see over them, wish that phrase would die..

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
