That's fair. I guess that kinda speaks to what I value most in OL play - consistency. The SB50 OL had a higher ceiling of play but Remmers was a massive liability against speed rushers as we saw in our only two losses that year. We missed out on an undefeated regular season and a Lombardi because Remmers absolutely could not handle elite speed rushers and Shula could not scheme around it. Roll the pocket? Focus on plays allowing the ball to come out quicker? Nonsense! We do what we do! We'll keep an extra blockers in and just keep running our same slow developing downfield stuff no matter what!

Yep. Even with backups coming in, this line has held up(minus Nijman who was quite bad early in the season).

That level of consistency has even helped Bryce work a little bit through his Battered QB Syndrome. 

Plus, when you look at these guys, the majority of them are fuging road graders. This is a line built to dominate at the point of attack and break Chuba on these runs.

Honestly, I can't wait to see Dalton back with the current group of WR's and the team in a little bit more of a rhythm. It might actually be a fun offense to watch.

I would be interested to see what a dual threat younger guy with a high-mark toolkit could do behind it.  

 

Bring in a physical specimen who dropped in the draft because he has coachable deficits and/or went to a smaller school and is an unknown. Put him behind a line where he knows his life is safe and give him a pair of game breaker RBs and WRs. Let Andy walk and have Bryce as our bridge.

This sounds like a very poor plan. If you want a developmental guy, not a problem but Bryce is not a bridge. Andy(or similar) is a bridge. 

You still need a QB that isn't an immediate limitation in the offense. Bryce unquestionably is.

I’m personally pretty interested to see this Rourke kid play against OSU this weekend. If he propels Indiana of all places to the CFPs, I think he warrants a hard look at that size and given what he’s done this year. 

Hopefully he curb stomps OSU. Would love to see the traditional Big Ten powers fall apart with the influx of Pac 12 teams.

Bryce is such an albatross and It feels like I’m sitting in the ‘light is both a ray and a particle’ college physics lecture once again. Like that lecture (Ha! I still made an A, Dr Muir) … can’t figure this ish out. If Andy had another year on his deal then it’s easy. I love me some Andy, even through his rough couple games. How expensive is he going to be is the question. Can we sign both him and Horn? What is the 5th year or tag hit?  If not Andy or Bryce, then who? Literally, ANYBODY is better than Bryce, but he would have to be traded with his cap hit. Right? Maybe this is the dog and pony show for a team wanting a project? 

I don’t want him here any more but the problem of what to do with Horn looms large.

The Robert Hunt signing was one of the best FA signings this franchise has ever made. It's shocking what one signing can do for the rest of the team. He's elevated everyone around him, is a culture changer, and is a great player in his own right. Everyone in the media and some within our fanbase were snickering at that signing, stupid 'ol Panthers making him a top 5 paid Guard in the league. It's been an incredible move! That combined with Damien Lewis has completely stabilized the line and made the Panthers fun to watch again.

We can get another established veteran like Dalton or Flacco, I think. That is more my speed than a bust 1st round QB gamble or some career backup. Get someone that has done it in the past and can manage the offense effectively enough to develop young players.

I think Bryce would probably claim another coaching head if he started all the games next season.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
