Listening to WFNZ today and Kevin said if Moses is there at 28  GMAN should sprint to the podium and take him.

 

He even said if he falls to 20 we should trade up to get him. He said that Moses is climbing up the boards of teams and is a legit LT.

 

He went on to say we should be able to get two WRs that will be impact players as deep as the 4th round.

Sounds smart if you ask me.  Long Arms, good feet, not much power in run blocking, but Gross was not a beast in that area either.

 

Do you pass on Cooks or Beckham or Lee to take Moses?

 

Here is another question--If Moses moves up boards, do you take Zack Martin over the guys mentioned above?

Offensive line in the first round...

 

Would I be in favor of that? Hmmmmm :unsure:

 

That question has been bugging me because there is a drop off after the top 3.  How good is Moses and is he really a legit LT?  If so, yes.  But people make general assumptions and announce to the world their epiphany (word carefully chosen because Moses is the subject) as if it was a well-preserved secret that Moses can play LT on the NFL level.  If this was not obvious in December, why does the fog clear in April?

 

If he can play, then we take him.  All that talk about Bell turns out to be a smokescreen.  It will be hard if a stud WR is on the table, but at 60 we could land a quality WR who would make us better.

  If Gettleman is as sure as Weidl that Moses is the man I say you have to take him. The draft is very deep at WR.

 

I am now ready for my Huddle beat down for my comment above.Let the insults begin.

If you look at the history of first rounders at WR, it does not give you courage. Moses would be the safe pick, possibly the best pick if he plays LT.

 

Take a look at franchise tag salaries and you can see what positions are worth--supply and demand. An average LT salary is way higher than an average WR salary.  That means they are more rare. 

 

More points: 

Gettlemen likes the big boys.

T is a safer pick.

A T impacts nearly every play.  A WR impacts some plays.

We are in a conference that has put a focus lately on pressuring the QB--New Orleans and Rob Ryan, Atlanta wants Clowney, and the Bucs are about to become Lovie's team.

We need a starter NOW.  Moses is a starter from day 1.

Moses is a high character guy.  That means a lot to DG and JR.

 

There are quality WRs through the second round, but the T supply dips dramatically after Zack Martin/Moses. Tiny RIchardson and Cyrus' knees hurt the supply--more question marks.Mewhort projects to RT, Bitonio's arms are a bit short and he could be a guard.  Turner is from a small school and has little quality tape.  Hurst has the broken leg---

 

WR in the second round probably eliminates your chance of getting a game-changing #1, but few become that anyway.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
