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.,

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      No poo tho you might could Jenkins for Legette. They got nothing at WR after the big 2 in Cincy. I don’t think you trade away OL depth. Could get a quality player in cuts. Really that 3-4 end spot what you should be looking for is someone who is stout with long arms and can push back the OL in both the run and pass game for others to make plays…. But we signed Wharton, sometimes I think Evero is a fraud ass nerd who should be an analyst at best.

      you would honestly probably do Monroe Freeling more of a disservice by putting him in a position where is not yet ready to succeed. .we all knew Monroe Freeling struggled at the NFL combine in drills because of technique related issues & would need time to develop  & now all of a sudden before they even put the pads on Monroe Freeling is somehow a starting LT in the NFL ? if he struggled at the NFL scouting combine what do you actually think is going to happen in a live NFL game at LT ? .even our best LT of all time was not ready to start at LT when he was a rookie & he turned out to be a pretty good darn LT by the name of Jordan Gross ...just saying be patient Young Jedis

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying
