Thoughts?

His last name is too good to pass up.

I think that Gettleman is comfortable with our o-line, especially when it comes with a high price to change it. And by high price, I mean, a high draft pick for someone that isn't as proven as who's in the position now...

throw a 3rd round pick in there for him and see if it hits.

A third is a bit too high for someone who only started 16 games in college.

I'd throw a fourth or fifth, personally.

That dude will never be a Panther. Go look up his history.

I like how he's apparently legit left tackle material without even playing an NFL game. lol 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

The annual supplemental draft thread. I am not sure who this guy is but will go out on a limb and say we pass on him. FTW Isaiah Battle.

Newsflash bud-the fact he's actually played LT in college makes him unlike all but THREE players in the last 20 drafts of our franchise's two decade history!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Jordan Gross, Jeff Otah, and Lee Ziemba.  That's freakin' it the last 20 drafts.

This guy is the #2 LT prospect in one of the two major NFL scouting services after Ronnie Stanley, who we're very unlikely to get, and who quite frankly I hope we don't get since he's likely a top 10 pick.

For the above stated reasons alone I hope we're doing EVERYTHING in our power over the next week or two to make a quality decision on this guy.

I said last 20 drafts.  I knew about 95 but over 20 drafts ago is a long freakin time.  Also, sorry, but the point was to speak about LTs that may actually play the position, not guards.

I guess same goes for all the LT taken during the draft , if he has the talent and skills we should at least consider it. Also the way panthers play I highly doubt we will be in top 15 picks for years so the chance of drafting a quality LT isn't going to happen unless moving up
