Andy Benoit on Panthers O-line/Andrew Norwell

[TheSpecialJuan]

16. CAROLINA PANTHERS (11–5)

FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK: 24

PRIMARY NEED: OFFENSIVE LINE

It’s a myster how left guard Andrew Norwell—sturdy but by no means spectacular—earned first-team All-Pro. (No one on this line was All-Pro-worthy; that’s partly why the Panthers’ backs rushed for the second-fewest yards in the NFL.) This perplexing nod might beef up Norwell’s market value, and his franchise-tag number is already inflated by the NFL’s asinine practice of lumping all linemen into the same pricing category. Re-signing him could be tough, and while he’s the only 2018 free agent on this line, right tackle Daryl Williams will be up in ’19, as will center Ryan Kalil. Carolina must replenish its depth up front.

Norwell deserves first team all pro 100%.

That article was Garbage all around for just about every team.

Dude said the Bengals need a new QB...

Sure there are better QB's out there, but Dalton is average. Their lines both suck, I'd start there.

I’m friends with a die hard Bengals fan, you would not believe how many fans of theirs want a new Qb . They have been begging for AJ to start for two years now.

Yeah I mean it's ideal for them to get a guy who can be top 5-10 franchise caliber but Dalton is absolutely a guy they could win SBs with if the rest of the team (and most importantly, HC) is good enough. Dalton is solid and in the middle of the pack tier that is significantly better than being a team like the Jets, Bills, Cards, Browns, etc. They don't need a new QB at all and that shouldn't be a priority. If they happen into someone like Wilson or Dak Prescott when drafting an AJ replacement, then great. But it shouldn't be a priority and any suggestions that it should be are silly.

New York Giants

The Giants will sign All-Pro guard Andrew Norwell

It will be costly, but he has the connection to general manager Dave Gettleman, and the team's top priority this offseason is improving the line. The Giants also will re-sign Justin Pugh to play tackle. That's a lot of money to allocate to the line and two of the top linemen in free agency. -- Jordan Raanan

That offense is stacked, they should be better that what they are...at least according to the bengals fan
