This is probably Moton’s last year and Ickey’s recovery is going to take time. And we need to upgrade our edge protection if and when Bryce is extended.

Most of those problems can be handled the following offseason though, whether through the draft or free agency. Time will tell but it feels like bigger upgrades may have been available at 19

Moton will be here for the next 2 unless we trade him or he gets injured. After that, who knows. 

Yeah, I don't know see Moton going anywhere, unless he wants to chase a ring.

Fine by me. Not completely sold on Concepcion. 

For me, it's only due to his hands. He's electric and twitchy as hell. I think the Bills might take him.

Wasn’t me but yeah I saw that too, there was some conflicting info but I was under the impression the Packers guy was our Ickey insurance. I admittedly didn’t follow pre-draft stuff much but didn’t seem like OT was projected at all? I was excited about Thieneman but oh well 

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.

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?

We can’t lose selecting Freeling. He can play LT while Ickey is out and eventually replace Taylor Moton or Ickey for that matter 

I think the plan is ickey replaces Motown and feelings grows into the LT and walker gets a 3rd round comp......

or screw it hold on to the goods, I like having NFL OTs.......

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
