You left off the beginning of that reply by Gantt.
Why the heck is there still an offensive lineman in the mock draft, Kenyon Sadiq or KC Concepcion, or Ahkeem Mesidor, all the way!!!! — Niko, Phoenix, AZ
Those are all valid thoughts, but so are all the tackles you keep seeing pop up in the mock drafts, and there's a reason for that.
Partially because that's a perennial need for good teams, no matter how good your starters are. And partially because there's a good amount of really good offensive linemen in this year's class.
For the Panthers in particular, there's actually a reasonable case for getting younger up front, and the temptation of a first-round tackle is real. Taylor Moton's still playing the kind of football that merited an extension last year, but he's 32. On the other side, you have Rasheed Walker and Ikem Ekwonu on one-year deals, and Ekwonu's also coming back from a torn patellar tendon. Even inside, Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis are in their prime years, but Hunt's turning 30 this year, and Lewis is 29.
So much of what the Panthers are going to do next week isn't dictated by their preference, but by what happens above them. That's another benefit of not getting locked into need. For instance, if you're thinking you want a receiver, seeing five or six of them go off the board and reacting by taking the sixth or seventh off your list instead of the first (or second or third) something else isn't necessarily wise
