1. Trade for a young DT with upside.

2. Get a veteran starter at WLB if TD is not able to go.

3. Bring in competition at safety.

4. Sign a underrated veteran Olineman capable of playing multiple places.

I like Wesley Woodyard who is buried on the depth chart in Denver. He is 26 and with Denver so far up Peyton's rear they may lose him.

Haruki Nakamura is another vet who would be a monster on ST and push our young safeties.

Jason Brown was once considered a top center and paid as such. Not so much now. Could be reunited with an old coach of his here. Can also play guard.

Give up a fourth round pick and make an offer to the raw, talented, big Sammie Lee Hill. 6'4'' 330lbs. 25 yrs young coming off his rookie contract. Cap hit last year was 599,000 roughly. Granted he is up for a pay raise. But with the LIONS making Megatron megarich and Fairley, Suh, and Corey Williams on the depth chart he could be seen as expendable.

There you have it. Remember guys we do have roughly 8 million in cap room so these moves are not unlikely.

We could maybe pick up Gallery on the cheap as a T/G tweener. If he want the $4MM he mad last year hell no, but if he played for what we saved by cutting Wharton I'd do it. He's not that good, but he could be a versatile rotational guy.

Gallery is actually a pretty good guard, his bad rep comes from failing so miserably at OT after he was drafted so high.

Yeah, mostly because he has the arm length of a 12 year old and somewhat due to it being the Raiders who drafted him. 32 1/4 is pretty small for an OT, kind of why I don't understand how some draft experts are saying DeCastro could swing out to play RT with 32 3/8 arms.

      I think you mean relevant but they have been fine, the problem is the lack of in game adjustments.  He has also been just decent at recruiting.  Duke having tons of success hurts and just fine isn’t good enough at UNC.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      I don't see it as drafting a premium player to sit and wait if Walker gets hurt. We need a legitimate swing T. Unless you have a Sewell or Slater type tackle that is pretty much a sure thing, these guys can need some time to develop year 1 just like a QB ideally should. They all haven't played the elite 5 star talent on the edge. If we think another franchise tackle has dropped to us at 19, you have to pull the trigger. The position is just too damn hard to find. If it's just a "we need a tackle and this guy has a T on the board", yeah, move on, take one in the later rounds. But if that guy is there, let him back up and learn a year, then slide him into LT on year 2 of his rookie deal.  I don't see us being able to offer Walker a multi year contract after a prove it year, pay Moton his final almost fully guaranteed year, Hunt, Lewis a center and do a 50-60m extension for Bryce. The 3 most important positions on the field are QB, blindside tackle (usually LT), and edge rusher. Those are the premium positions that cost the most and are hardest to come by. If a starting caliber talent is there at 19 you have to pull the trigger.  I understand the need for a DT and S. I've been on the C and FS train for years. If we weren't staring at a potential Bryce extension, it'd make the decision a lot easier I think. It's just with all these huge contracts I don't see how we can hedge our bets on being able or even wanting to re-sign Walker, especially if he has a bad year. Icky and BC's injuries really hurt our long term plans.  If no blue chip talent at those 3 key positions are available at 19, by all means pass and draft another position. But I think it's pretty safe to say we don't have a guaranteed lock at any of them right now beyond Phillips, and they have to be somewhat of a priority.

      Not completely accurate. I'm sure Roy is lobbying for him and Larry Brown has spoke put in support too. But Hansbrough has made comments pretty critical and hinting at a need for change. Joel Berry has gone a step further and said the standard has not been met. Scott Williams who was a teammate of Hubert's at Carolina has gone all the way and said it's time for a change at head coach.
