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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
