Do Marcell Dareus=Buckner=Kemo=Hollis Thomas?

I know Dareus is more versatile than these guys, but I'm sure he'll be playing that same space eatting, taking on double team type roll. My question is, how much value do you put on these type of guys in terms of draft position? Again I know he's more versatile than these guys, but I still only see him playing on 1st & 2nd downs. Your thoughts? Oh, and for those of you that don't want to chime in, we can easily go back to talking about Cam.

Buckner was nothing like Thomas or kemo

When brentson was here jenkins played the 2 gap, but he was so fast he played it like a one gap.

indeed... guy would be pushing 375-400 and could almost take the hand off from the QB on running plays... AND he was strong as any DT in the game... mauling OL with ease or just tossing them aside.

It's a shame his ligaments couldnt hold up... he had amazing talent.

If we can get someone of Hollis Thomas caliber, I'd be satisfied. That dude played his ass off.

that really isn't that hard to find....Thomas wasn't that good in Carolina. Neither was Kemo.

Carolina if they wanted to do anything but force Fox's hand to play certain guys could have brought in bodies last year.

    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO) 
    • looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
