I'm sure most people here would kill themselves or call out for Gettleman's head, but the fact of the matter is this: games are won and lost in the trenches. I'm all for a WR/S/CB but I'm also for giving Cam the best chance at not running for his life. And conversely, I'm all for a Dline that makes other QBs run for theirs! We haven't missed in the first round of a draft in years, so whichever way we go, I'll support it.

I would love it but as I've seen posted several times on here I feel weird about more youth on the line. I'd bet Gettlemen brings in a few solid vets for the oline. Either now or prior to the start of the season.

Warmack and Kwan Short would be great. I'd even add a mauling tackle in the 4th or 5th to push Bell.

I hope for it. DT, RG and a S are easily our biggest areas of need. In a perfect world we get Star in the first, Rambo or another future stud S in the 2nd, a starting RG in the 4th and good depth players with the other two picks. Wouldn't be upset with Hunter or Hopkins in the 2nd, but the trenches is where our attention is needed the most.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
