Next priority... OT options (draft?)

The moves with Cotchery & Underwood for now ease the crisis some claimed at the WR position until the draft or as some in here hope the Desean Jackson trade (not likely) will finish our WR corps rebuild, this now can atleast let us concentrate on rebuilding the O-line, we prob need both a LT and a RT, Byron Bell is depth in my opinion, I don't see a lot of good free agent starters outhere so I guess Gettleman is going for a guy in the draft.

The three elite LT Robinson, Matthews, Lewan should all be gone by #15 that then leaves the next tier of prospects Morgan Moses, Zack Martin, and the two risky guys Antonio Richardson & Cyrus Koumandijo, all four are projected late first round-early second round graded players!.

I don't see we reach or even need too, if we do go BPA like many suggest we will, if a BPA WR or TE or even DB is there at #28 I can stil see the OT need made to wait, you have guys in the second-third round who aren't massive drop offs from those guys, James Hurst, Juwan James, Billy Turner, Jack Mewhort, Joel Bitonio.

The draft is deep and there's no need at all to reach and I don't expect Gettleman too, he's building a sustained competitor here in Charlotte, I was not one of the panic/sky falling in fans, I think we have a GM who's building a winner, the Hurney days are over....

Woah woah woah. We haven't solved the WR issue. We don't have a #1.

Agreed that's why I said the signings have eased not solved the problems at WR, just seeking opinion on who or where we draft as there does not seem to be much talent available at an important need of ours which is the o-line in free agency, for what it's worth id like Marquise Lee at #28 if he falls that far. Plenty of options at OT in the next three rounds.

I'm not comfortable picking any projected OT or WR round 1. BPA...which in my estimation is Verrett. ASJ, Pryor, or Ha-Ha....maybe I would be ok with Martin or Moses. Maybe trade back...I want to leave this draft with Moncrief, Billy Turner, and Fleming...make it happen Dave.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
