Kader Kohou from the Dolphins could make sense.

They're not trying to give Bryce any excuses this year.

10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available: - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us. - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade. - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing. - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term. - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver. - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing. - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot. - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early. - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else. - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.

I'll give him credit for finally letting his GM actually make football decisions.

He has to be a fallback option for us at either LT or C. Or both depending on how the draft goes.

Can any of the top guard prospects also play center? Because the pure centers in this class aren't exactly screaming day one starter to me.

What we need are two decent (at minimum) fallback options at LT and center. That could mean we bring back Brady Christensen (which we should anyway for depth purposes) and possibly Austin Corbett. I feel like OT is now the clear favorite to be our 1st round pick, so we should get a starter there but I don't love our chances of landing a day one starting center in this class. Jenkins from Green Bay is available but he's had injury issues and would probably be quite a bit more expensive than Corbett, who has also had injury issues but at least should come relatively cheap.

They need to. Could end up starting at either tackle or center.

Wouldn't shock me to see Austin Corbett brought back.

Boom!

Jesus Christ. What did he do?

Would love him in the 2nd round.

At this point I'm convinced Lloyd has just decided to retire and is just trolling the teams trying to sign him.

Could have done that without spending $7M.

Nah, as long as they don't get too cute they should be fine.

I wouldn't hate Peter Woods.

If you look at this class OT figures to be the best value at #19.

Hand, meet glove.

Pay him. Don't settle for another Tershawn Wharton.

Pay him.

Well, the Bryce haters got their guy

Awful.

I feel like the fallback plan for center is just re-signing Brady Christensen.

4 years, $52M.
