Post Banks reaggravating his foot I think Woods is the only DT with a real shot to go at 19. I’m a little worried about him on the outside but he’ll be fine in nickel. 
 

there’s overlap with Wharton though and it makes me think they probably don’t go that direction. 
 

they just spent a lot of money in free agency to go out and grab players that won’t be starters in their first season. I think they want an OT and DT and would take one they loved…but I really do think they want someone more plug and play. 

Agree with this. Any linemen drafted won't start this season. Heck it took Derrick Brown 3 years to figure it out. 

ILB, FS, Nickel on defense. WR, TE on offense. Those are the only positions that could realistically start day one. Though TE is also a position that generally takes time to learn, as you're an olineman and a receiver. You have to learn complex blocking schemes and then the route tree/hot routes/chemistry with your QB.

Tight end is this unique position where it’s not generally considered a premium position but it’s also not really something you can just go out and buy great play at. Great tight ends virtually never go anywhere. If you want a good one you have to draft him, and more and more lately, you have to take him in the 1st. I don’t need a guy to be ready from his first time stepping on the field as a rookie, that’s an unrealistic expectation-I’d like to have a place for him to step in and play though. Sadiq would have a defined role from the first practice and would open up the offense as a whole simply by being here. 

but in any case I get the impression that the team doesn’t feel he’s going to be there which jives with kind of how I’m feeling.

I think its 1.49, but I will the the official time and numbers(he tore it up).

Besides his frame, he's top .000001% 

But can he block edges?? what's his route tree?? those are the issues. 

personally I feel he should be in the discussion, among 4/5 others. Who knows the new hire Darrel bevell may change the offense system some, I hope he does......

Hes a solid blocker, I wouldnt say elite but hes definitely not one of those guys who are basically a big slot.  He can block.

      Which Round Will Carolina Draft Sawyer Robertson?

      No matter what we still need a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Keep throwing QBs at the wall until we find someone who sticks.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      By strato · Posted

      Lot of different agendas dictating opinions.  I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense.   They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line.  Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.
