What if BPA is Will Campbell?

If the Patriots or Jets don’t take Will Campbell, he will be there for us. Do you draft him?

I wouldn’t be mad if we did. He’s by all accounts a can’t miss LT prospect. We have Icky and he improved a lot last year, and I would be happy to re-sign him. The reason why it might be a sound decision is that it’s clear, Bryce needs time in the pocket, and while our O-line is top 10 now, if Icky gets hurt, who slides into LT? Additionally, Icky can also move inside to guard if Lewis gets injured. Our O-line, while top tier, is thin, and ensuring the Bryce’s backside is protected for years to come and not vulnerable to one player getting injured is worth selecting Will Campbell. Campbell could also play guard. 
 

in short, it’s clear Bryce is a star with a great O-line. Ensuring the quality and depth of the O-line will cement the offense for the next 5 years, if we pick Campbell. Yes, we need D help, but what’s the point if Bryce has a shaky line due to a LT injury?

If there's one thing for sure about the draft it's that there's no such thing as a sure thing. Unless we're planning on doing something else with Icky I'd be fielding calls to move off of that pick.

He is a pass blocker extraordinaire, draft him and move icky to right

Don't mess with the OL.

Mess with the defense.

If this scenario does happen, then it pretty much cleans up the oline, somewhat cheaply, for a very long time.  Fitt painted the front office into a corner with the moton deal and that has to be addressed at some point.  I would prefer walker, Carter or trade back but I would be pretty happy if we landed the best LT in this draft.  Icky could be a monster on the right side.

If he is actually BPA then yes. Save money with Moton and flip Icky to the right or trade Icky for a pick. I really do think y'all will be surprised tho with the defensive players at 8. I think Will goes early, Hunter, TMac (surprise), Johson, and the 2 QBs. I wouldn't be shocked if Carter is the only non CB off the board from a defensive perspective at 8.

      Can we all admit it now?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      That's also in an era when DBs could press for 10 yards, Qbs could be hit, QBs could have players land on them, incidental contact could be made with the head etc. You can't compare bryce to players like this. What you can do is say who's done less over their first 30 starts and had more resources dedicated to them and at that point you're looking at like Joey Harrington.  At least with Joey there weren't morons in the fan base falling over themselves to compare him to players from the first year of the NFL merger.

      Brees had a pro bowl year in year 3. Phillip Rivers was drafted anyways and Brees went off for two more years before his shoulder was completely torn up in the last game of the 2006 season.

      Fly Over: Would this happen or is this fanbase too far removed to care?

      By ElkinPanthersFan · Posted

      The last time this franchise was in this much despair pre Tepper, the rumors of the banner flyover were met by the front office. They quickly worked with the disgruntled fans to quell any potential negative event occurring at the Stadium or TV. The real question is do we even have enough fans that care to get together behind a movement like this again or is our fan base too far gone that we dont care to revolt like this? Personally, I still go to games each year no matter how terrible it is, but it has went from something I spent all week looking forward to almost as enjoyable as yearly physical. We can count the blunders this franchise has made in keeping Head Coaches, General Managers and players too long. (Rivera,Rhule, Hurney, Fitterrer). Team wise we've missed out on Herbert, we didnt trade Burns for 2 1st round picks, we reached by taking Bryce who would have most likely been were we were going to draft anyway, and extended players who constantly underperformed like Ian Thomas. Even when we are gifted a chance like 2 first for Burns that we shouldnt have paid premium, we fumbled a chance to really jump start the franchise. So this is more to everyone as a whole. How much of your Soul for this team is left? Is it still there that if there was a glimmer of hope, you'd come right back or has the futility of this team negated your love for football completely?
