Look. I would have loved to have the safety.
The reality is positional value comes into play. When is the last time the Panthers even selected an offensive lineman in the draft? I get it, you preceive him as a project, therefore you dont like the pick. His size an mobility is tops for the tackle position. He wasn't even expected to be there. I'll take a career cornerstone at tackle over safety every time.
Have a great evening.
