Which would you pick (at #59)?

I've been on the DT bangwagon all offseason. But if there is a blue chipper OG at the 59 slot........you gotta go with it and fill that DT need later in the draft and thru FA.

Also personally.....I stopped after the year we drafted TD in trying to name the player we would pick. That pick came as a total surpise. And after the last two drafts I should stop in trying to predict the position we will select. The Panthers FO is just too unpredictable.

Hard to gauge DT coming out of college, so I would probably say OG. Elite O linemen drafted at the 59 would be cheap "great" talent for us for years.

Good DT's may not even make the field except to rotate.

To me it comes down to every down o line player, or a situational D line player.

We can pick up a DT after the Draft, in FA.

Bpa

i'm assuming that the BPA in this scenario is an elite/dominate OG and, most likely this.....

UNGER!:hurray:

i would be happy with mack or unger...hard to believe that both of these guys would be taken by the #59 spot. finding kalil where we did just gives me too much optimism. i would be incredibly happy with getting duke robinson as well. it is very likely that one of those 3 will be at the #59.

i agree with this.

if cap room can be made (which i have very little doubt can/will be done somehow) we will be addressing the DT position in FA the way we did the Oline last year, hopefully with as good or better results.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
