He would be an instant upgrade to our offensive live. Even though we haven't shown a great amount of interest in him, I could possibly see him being a wtf pick at 14 that no one saw coming. He would fit the philosophy that Gettlemen has been preaching, having a lot of big tough guys.

I could see it. I bet some teams have him much higher than other teams. Personally I think he would be like a Jeff Otah-like talent, but who would actually care about football. He would make our run game instantly better and would have potential to be much better at pass protection than Bell because he actually has pretty quick feet for his enormous size.

He could potentially be the 14th best overall player and especially with the glut of talent at WR, DB, and DT we could get him and an impact player at one of those other positions, where we couldn't get an OT of any starting-caliber in the second.

Honestly though, he probably won't make it past 11 or 12. San Diego has no starting tackle on their roster and will have to take him or trade a boatload of picks to move up to grab Johnson. I bet Fluker doesn't get by San Diego and if he does then the Dolphins will draft him.

I think he'll be a good player, but I wouldn't be a huge fan of the pick. If we're taking an OT, it needs to be an OT that can take over for Gross soon. Bell might not be even above average, but he's young with room to grow and already far from the worst player we have at their position.

The interesting thing with him is that some guys think he projects as a stud RG and at the same time can be a starting RT. Hang'man replacement and a Bell backup/insurance policy at the same time. It wouldn't be a bad direction but not my top choice.

It can definitely happen though.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Still have yet to see this broken down anywhere by anyone past the details that he's getting 58.4m over three years with 54.3m guaranteed.    That does tell us two things though.  1. His contract was changed this year because he didn't have any guaranteed money left on his contract.  2. All of this years salary is guaranteed. Since his new deal has 40m of 44m guaranteed.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Woods has had 600 yards in 2 years with Stroud. He's done. Collins blew up with Stroud and had a ton more everything in Stroud’s rookie year than he did in his first two years combined. Mingo sucks but his rookie season was about the same as Collins. The Texans won 10 games with rookie Stroud. They won 11 total games in the 3 years prior. They had a poo roster before the 2023 draft. The Panthers had a better team before the 2023 draft. That was my point that Stroud (and Anderson) jumped the Texans to another level. No one thought of Nico Collins as a stud before Stroud. They were one of the worst teams in the league from 2020-2022. We won 6 more games over the same time period.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      1 here. I don't think we are very good. Maybe we can be entertaining though. Anyway, I would rather be pleasantly surprised with a couple of wins, rather than being angry and annoyed every Sunday because the team is just flat out terrible.
