Riley Reiff (OT out of Iowa) was eating dinner with one of the Panther's brass last night at my restaurant. I didn't overhear much but he sounded like a smart guy and they were talking football pretty much the entire time. Talked about how he played only the option at high school but then met with a private coach to learn pass-blocking and then excelled at Iowa. It seemed like overall a casual first interview, but it seems like the panthers are definitely interested in him at #9.

Take that for what you will

if it was only the/an OL coach eating out with him, i'm not sure there's a whole lot of interest there. i wouldn't doubt that they'd be some but for guys they are really interested in usually there would be more of the coaching staff there, i guess.

I know I am in the minority here but I would not hate it if we got a Reiff or Decastro.

Decastro is supposed to be Steve Hutchinson reincarnate and Reiff a better prospect than Jordan Gross. Possible move to RT if Otah isnt fixed.

Jason Brown at another guard spot and the line is wayy better from last season!

But about that defense...

Agreed.... just have to shore up that defensive backfield.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      Even if he beats the odds, returns midseason  and plays like he did last year it won’t warrant a big contract extension.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth
