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!

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.

I dunno. This contract is one year journeyman tackle money. Kinda makes me think the people that get paid to watch him on a snap by snap basis in the NFL think he’s replacement level, which is fine for what the panthers do on offense. They don’t need elite tackle play for what Bryce can do  

 

The biggest negative I have read about him is he is prone to have too many penalties.

Added context: we have to pay for 6 starting OL this offseason due to Icky’s injury. 

Worse than that, if he had not been injured he gets extended and the first year does not have to be 17.4 or whatever the hell his 5th year contract pays. They could have cut it down with the planned extension that did not happen.,

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Cpt slay a ho · Posted

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
