... W... Why are we making moves that make sense? Did I miss something?

There were only 2 projected to go before 19. We can still get a good one if wanted..

I've seen Freeling, Mauigoa, Miller, & Fano projected before 19 in almost every mock. 

I watched Will Campbell get absolutely abused all season as the #4 overall pick.  Offensive Tackle is a position where the best Tackle in the draft is not much further ahead than the 20th Tackle in the draft.  Coaching and scheme can account for a lot at that position.

The same is not true for skill positions like WR, RB and TE.  The best player at those positions is infinitely better than the 20th player at those positions (in most cases).

Draft accordingly.

What bothers me about that logic-and I share it with you--is that Morgan has had too many holes to focus on TE and he has drafted TE twice in two years (on day 3).  I think we like Tremble, and we just re-signed Mitchell. They are giving Bryce weapons and protection everywhere else.  However, in a run-first offense, I am not sure Sadiq is the guy you need.  

Secondly, a TE in round 1 needs to be a perfect fit.

I think we need to go ahead and draft a T and C.  Good draft for both.  LB is still a need. S is a need. CB or nickel is a need.  TE in round 1 does not move the scale much.  

I have watched the Panthers O.L. Get abused until the recent upgrades. I understand wanting receivers, but I hope we plan for the future regarding our offensive line and the draft.  We had a lot of games missed last year by O.L. Injuries.

I want a Seattle level defense.  That seems fun

Our Oline coach is well respected and I guarantee  that helps in more ways than one... Walker is trying to setup for a decent payday and this is a perfect situation  to do just that. Rather he takes the spot here or elsewhere!

Team decided to not fug around this year. Expectations are going to vibe very, very high.

Coupled with the Lloyd deal, do... wait... one sec... do... free agents want to play for the Carolina Panthers?

Dan Morgan just stares at them until they sign

Nice!  Looks like it's a one year deal so basically just a fill in until we get some answers with Icky next year.

Wit the option that we could tag him down the line, I assume?

Kudos to Dan! Truly bpa at 19 now but I’m hoping for a rangy fs. I think if they can bring Brady back, the line, as is, is set for at least next season.

Up front, control that and you are ahead of the game every week. 
The receiver stuff is Bryce centric. 
To me, protect Bryce first.

We have enough skill position guys that if he is really any good he can make it work. If we protect him.
