This is the crux of the Panthers situation. Consistently making luxury picks that don't pan out.

TBH, it's been a rough draft so far. XL is looking suspect for a guy that was a trade up. Brooks may never play meaningful snaps for us again. Wallace could be a guy? Hard to say so far. Sanders may be a stud. The guys after that are basically nothing.

If XL or Wallace don't pan out, this was a classic Panthers dumpster fire draft.

For a 2-15 team, the first 3 picks should be day 1 starters or at least the 1st 2 with rotational 3rd. 

Certain positions are routinely found in particular rounds more frequently. It's like we draft without this in mind and gamble on raw prospects instead of filling positions of need with likely starters. I just don't get it.

2nd rounder isn't a high pick. That's generally when the best C's start coming off the board.

2nd rounder is high for a RB. That's just moronic.

He takes the weirdest positions on roster discussions.

I'd much rather have a young franchise Center for that second round pick we used than an RB who has torn his ACL in the same knee twice already at 21 years old.

Guys who've never been hurt still get hurt. You can't predict it. 

You have a positional value "preference" doesn't make another's decision wrong. Knowing we had Corbett under contract, with BC they bet on addi g weapons to an offense that SORELY lacked them.

BPA met NEED, the injury was considered a non-issue from most evaluators.

Obviously no one has a crystal ball to predict injuries but good RB's can and have been had in the 4th and 5th rounds.

At one point earlier in the season with McCaffrey out the 49ers had an at the time league leading running back who was undrafted.

You simply don't have to sink a pick in the first 2 rounds to get a productive back anymore. Chuba Hubbard was a 4th round pick. He's pretty good no?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
