At the time it was a good pick. There was no guarantee that KK would be back. Without him we would've been extremely thin at the position like always before the Gettleman era. Now it looks kind of bad since we have two starters in place, but who knows. He can still develop into a very good player imo and you can never have too many big men up front with all the injuries. He looked great in camp before getting hindered with injuries himself. I'd rather go Butler again than a random wr that shula could probably never get involved/develop or have Ron bury him beneath pet players.

Yes... because with the power of hindsight... the logical thing to do would be to still pick him ahead of: 

Emmanuel Ogbah, Hunter Henry, Myles Jack, Sterling Shepard, Derrick Henry, Michael Thomas, Deion Jones, Vonn Bell etc. etc.

For those that hate Seattle and enjoy their demise, this helped.  They thought we would go elsewhere and they would land him.  As a result they traded assets for Reed, traded major assets for Richardson who isn’t there anymore, and drafted a total bum in McDowell as a result.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
