I know everyone loves Hunt but Lewis is the better player. 

I have seen Hunt  get abused a couple of plays. I was pretty surprised that a guy making 100 million was getting pushed around. 

I know he is a good player but Lewis is the value.

He graded out better last year as well. With BC doing well as a starter in Hunt's place, if DLew has durability issues as the season goes on I can see the team looking to move on from his contract to retain BC. Hunt's out isn't until after next season, but after this season cutting DLew would save ~$9M iirc.

Personally, I'd love to keep all three while they're still operating under Bryce's rookie deal.

I know everyone loves BC but he is also a 29 year old backup. His value will always be being that versatile backup for us, not starting 17 games at whatever position.

If we want to move from either of the guards, fine, but the draft is the place to take care of that.

The thing that gives me pause about Ickey is that I still feel he is lacking in pass protection, the one critical component about being a left tackle. Yet, good luck on finding another LT and Ickey's agent will know that.

Boy, I was really spoiled watching Jordan Gross.

That's true, but he's a elite run blocker. 

Honestly he could be fixed, he just needs loads and loads of snaps. The collective bargin doesn't allow, so Icky would need to do it on his time......

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      Bryce = Alex Smith

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
