We need to do both. Get a quality stop gap and draft someone to mold behind them. Let's face it, there seem to be no Day 1 starters at LT in the draft. Need a solid vet and develop someone behind him. If we're going to get back to the playoffs, we can't have both Oher and Remmers as starting tackles.

Spot on, the tackle from Troy could be good pick up in 2nd or 3rd round.

Keep in mind guys, that every player gets older.  Oher and Peter today, are not what they were 8 years ago.  You are not getting the same player, still worth something, but you are not getting the 2008 player, just the name

Agree, and that's why I can/can't believe Matt Kalil is so coveted here.  He's been an injury prone bag of suck.  Peters was a Pro Bowler in 2016.

Hahahaha, you guys are crazy. Peters is going to ask more than what we can afford. 

"What we can afford"? I thought the huddle's mantra this offseason was having a near limitless Cap and plenty of picks?

I'd rather draft a younger guy like Ryan Ramczyk. No more stop gap guys.

It's early, but 2018 looks to be a much better year to draft tackles.  Getting the stop gap for a couple years as we try and win the whole thing to overlap with the OT taken with the 32 or 64 pick in 2018 as he semi-redshirts for a year makes sense.

i think Gman will spend a bit more than he normally would for someone like Peters or Whitworth knowing that it will only be a 2 or 3 year deal.  However, i don't think he will go all Redskins in his spending.  Again, hoping the family connections to Charlotte give us an edge

If he goes complete el-cheapo at LT he should be tarred, feathered, and flogged at the intersection of Trade and Tryon.  Cam Newton is our franchise, a talent like no other, and after all that happened to him and this team in 2016, one of the multiple possibilities mentioned on this board of LTs with quality experience in this league must be attained.

People do realize if Peters hits the market you could be in a bidding war with half a dozen other teams right? There are 32 starting left tackle spots and nowhere near 32 starter quality tackles in the league.

Panthers definitely should be in that "half dozen" because who tf are we not to be.
