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.

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?

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

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
