I think Ickey is now a guard.  He was Meh at T,but he could be elite at G----even without the injury.  Hunt will be gone by 2027, and Ickey can step in.  

Great point. Next year we cut Robert Hunt for cap relief and plug in Ickey at G

I would like Thieneman still, and I’m trying to figure out how Freeling fits considering we signed the guy the Packers released too.  I’d expect they view Freeling as a starter.  So unless they plan on moving on from Moton, it’s less value than Thieneman who would be an instant starter.

Walker is on a 1-year deal. He’s practically a stopgap buying time for Ickey and the rookie.

I think it’s more likely he replaces Damien Lewis but that’s just speculation on my part.

Playmakers available and we take a high risk project OT? Boom or bust pick. Why is the Panthers front office in love with project players with 1st and 2nd round picks? I thought the Panthers made the realization with the TMac pick to go with the pro ready impact pick.

Cross your fingers and hope Monroe is a boom and quick study. Complete opposite of Ekwonu with excellent athleticism and pass protection, but is below average for the league when it comes to run blocking.

Monroe continues the trend with TMJ, Ekwonu, Young, Mingo, XL, Brooks, Scourton.

Horn and TMac are the only pro-ready picks taken in the first 2 rounds for the past 6 drafts. Expecting more of the same in the 2nd round now. That will be 9 project picks in the last 12 core draft picks plus all the additional picks and proven players used to trade up for those projects.

If you toss in the 3rd round picks, it looks even worse. How is a team suppose to compete when it keeps going with a draft strategy reserved for consistent playoff teams with a winning foundation?

So Monroe was considered a top 15 pick and in your book he's a UDFA. 

Your take is bad.

Dave told you that we ain't drafting in the first round for depth, so it's safe to say Freeling's value will be intact. 

Well, I haven’t seen or followed all the pressers this year.  Any for that matter.  I’ve seen bits and pieces here and there, but very little.  But like I said, I expect we drafted him to start… I’m just not sure how that happens with the current group.  Unless they kick him inside while Walker is here?

 They didn't think Freeling would be there.  I guess they saw the endless mocks with the Lions taking him.

fuging Bears.

We’re going to extend Damien Lewis he’s been one of the better OG in the league the past 2 years

Walker could be kicked to the inside...for real.
