The case for Billy Price....

[Jeremy Igo]

Billy Price - Center/Guard - Ohio State

Future pro bowl center who played left guard extensively. 

Replace Norwell with him now, and can replace Ryan Kalil long term. 

 

Makes a ton of sense for the Panthers in the late first round.

This is probably my favorite target.  Especially if Moton moves out to LT.

Yeah, I'm all on board for him, Orlando Brown, Conner Williams, etc. Do we need a WR? Absolutely, but we can get that or a damn good TE in the second or third round.

I am hoping for a decent WR in FA. No receivers available at 24 this year will do anything this year or probably next year either. 

 

We need a starter in round 1.

Comes from a good OL school too, just like Norwell.

(exactly like Norwell)

I really like him and would be satisfied with the pick, though I'd love to keep Norwell still.

so who has the scoop on Moton at LT...can he play LT

[Devil Doc]

IMO, OSU always make the best linemen. They are a tenacious team, that plays some high caliber opponents.

[heel31ok]

still waiting on some reasons to think Moton can play LT...

[Fox007]

Yea if all the DEs are taken up by then. And the LTs went as well. Or a move back or something.

[SOJA]

Been saying this for awhile. He might not only be the best player on the board at that point, but he fills a definite need for the future at a highly undervalued position. 

Look how our run game improved when Ryan returned healthy. Look how dominate the Eagles were with Jason Kelce. 

If there is NOT a stud defensive end at our pick I highly suspect we draft Price.

people keep clamoring for another young WR. 

 

We have young talent at WR already: Funchess, Samuel 

What we really need is a reliable veteran that can run reliable routes and has sure hands. We also could use a burner but hopefully Byrd will come back and he can be that guy.

Really depends on how they see Moton. Could be Kalil's replacement at LT, might replace Williams at RT if he doesn't get signed in a year, or step in at LG. Price will be a downgrade at LG, but I agree he looks like a really good C. Honestly wouldn't even mind Moton at LG and cutting Ryan to save $, and drafting Price.

I dont get the whole Moton to LT either...so the plan is to potentially put him at LG this season and then move him to LT next season. SO in three seasons play 3 different positions? Awesome idea for player development.
