Taylor Lewan, OT Michigan

I like Lewan and he's certainly on my list of guys Im looking at for our selection come April.

He's mean and aggressive, and best suited as a pass protecting LT, exactly what this team needs as we continue to build out ourselves a modern NFL roster moving forward.

Don't want him. Had the most facemask penalties, both called & uncalled, against Clowney I've ever seen a lineman have. If he can't handle an NFL ready guy 1-on-1 without having to constantly resort to penalties that will be called in the NFL, there's no reason to draft him. He does have room to grow though, so he might be able to work that out of his game.

There's a couple of lineman in the draft coming out better than him, but sadly they might all be gone by the time our pick comes up.

Still a chance that Matthews goes pro

From GBNReport

(5:00 PM): Top OT to declare for draft … Texas A&M junior LT Luke Joeckel has indeed announced that he will be entering the 2013 draft where he is projected to be a top 5 pick. In fact, there is a chance that Joeckel could ultimately be the first player selected this coming April. The more interesting story at OT for the Aggies is what junior RT Jake Matthews opts to do. Matthews is also projected to be a first-round choice this year if he also leaves school this winter, however, there are reports that Matthews is seriously considering returning to school for his senior season with the intention of sliding over into Joeckel‘s LT slot and possibly becoming a top 5 pick himself in 2014. Stay tuned.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
