OTs are getting bigger and this team especially likes bigger ones.

 

would not be surprised if they really like Proctor more than the average fan does. He’s got atypical movement skills for a guy his size-a valuable attribute they are pretty familiar with after watching the Rams twice up close this past season. 

He’s not that different from Ickey. That Bama staff is ass water. He’s got bad weight to trim and gets beat off the ball on occasion ….like so fast that footwork doesn’t even factor in. Ickey syndrome, like they are taking a nap or something.

I don’t see what you’re seeing with “bad weight.” He’s got the box frame you want in a OT, carries it well. Sheds a bit more weight and he should get a bit quicker on the outside. You’re seeing more tackles in his build tier.

It’s in his gut and thighs, same as my aunt Sally. Take a peek a Freeling, 315 and that blob ain’t there. I’d much rather have a guy that needs refinement but ain’t going to get thrown out the club than some lightweight tho.

so it’s just not a serious take then 

Im dead serious, but right now, for realistic options I’d take Freeling then Proctor if available at 19 as the guys I want. But he absolutely needs to play at least 20 pounds less than he did at Bama. Scourton lost that much, it’s not an indictment and teams will want that.

    • Panthers sign OT Rasheed Walker Terms: One year, up to $10 million Grade: A The price of this deal might be the most shocking of free agency thus far. Walker was widely considered the best free agent tackle this year and was expected to receive a large contract. But his market developed very slowly, so he has signed a one-year deal with a maximum value of $10 million -- meaning the base value is below that -- per NFL Network. For context, my free agency contract model projected a deal averaging $21.8 million for Walker. Instead, it's a short-term commitment for less than half that. And the Panthers are the beneficiaries. Carolina entered this offseason with a possible need at left tackle after Ikem Ekwonu suffered a patellar tendon rupture in the playoffs that put his 2026 season in question. It's also the last year of his contract. The Panthers signed Stone Forsythe as an insurance plan already in free agency, but once Walker's market fell it seemed like they felt adding him was well worth it, too. Our win rate metrics consider Walker to be a solid player. Last season in Green Bay, he was in the 85th percentile among tackles in pass block win rate, though only 22nd percentile in run block win rate. He was in the 69th percentile and 48th percentile in those two metrics in 2024, respectively. Given that Dan Moore Jr. received $20.5 million per year from the Titans last year most -- myself included -- thought Walker would walk away with more than that. Perhaps the struggles of Moore (who wasn't great last season) contributed to Walker's market being cooler than expected, a theory that ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggested. Walker was also arrested two months ago at LaGuardia Airport in New York for allegedly trying to check-in with a firearm that he had a license for in Wisconsin but not New York. Either way, teams felt differently about Walker than most on the outside thought. But he's a heck of an add for the Panthers at this price. While his run-game contributions might be far from perfect, a weak pass protector at tackle can sink a passing game. Even if this is only a one-year arrangement, Walker should be able to help keep Bryce Young upright
    • Fantastic signing. If he is good, this will make next offseason really interesting. I would imagine that Morgan would try to extend Walker and convince Ikey to move to the right side to replace Moton. This also opens up options at 19 at lot instead of forcing a tackle. I'm not a fan, but I'm definitely more open to Morgen drafting Sadiq now, but there is also Peter Woods, and even some like Dillon Thieneman is now in the mix. Hell, I'm still for another off ball LB.
    • sure, but Panthers are theoretically in their win now window. Their first rounder needs to be a day one starter
