Hate to break it to ya but the Redskins, Lions and Chiefs also could use upgrades at LT.

A recent mock i seen has Trent Williams and Eric Berry being the best players available at your pick. The Chiefs take Buluga and the Redskins take Okung. You could switch those two but your still missing out on a tackle that early. Honestly i see Charles Brown as someone they would have their eyes on. Tell me what you would think of this first round. Eric Berry and Charles Brown.

I haven't seen Charles Brown's name come up...I am ok with Berry though. And ya, I am pretty sure we are out of luck for a premium LT as well. There was another post talking about Washington having a surprise pick maybe....guess we'll all find out in a few hours!

I agree with you about trading down. If you could steal a top LT at #6 and then parlay #14 into a few 2nd's or 3rd's you would make out like bandits.

I just don't see us trading into the mid-1st round, maybe 25-32, but I give that about a 15% chance of happening.

It just seems like it'll take too much to get up there and we don't have much to offer. Unless there is a guy with a 1st round grade that we absolutely covet that drops to the late 1st round, you won't be hearing from us tonight. Hurney probably sees it as being too much of a risk to give up multiple picks for one guy this year unless he's a lock to produce.

carolina does have the resources...it's called a RB.

i had a dream that the panthers traded half of double trouble to move up and pick up a stud defensive lineman.

lol good thing it was just a dream, if your a fan, y would u want us to lose a star to draft a possible bust? and before anybody says we need a d-line prospect, how about letting r d-line play this year and then evaluate their play??? it's so fuging annoying the lack of faith some so called fans have in r team

a dream has nothing to do with my faith in the team.

i do have faith in hurney's almost uncanny ability to avoid first round draft busts, and in his guts to pull the trigger on anything that will overall make the team better regardless of how weak/bad the move looks now.

if it happens, it happens. if it doesn't, oh well.

my purpose for mentioning the dream is simply for fun.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
