i like the idea of taking a flier on Price after his injury. those are the type of guys that end up being steals

Price at 55 would be a damned good deal, in the 3rd would be the steal of the draft. I saw a draft this week (forgot which one, there's so many) that mentioned him sneaking back to the first.

3. Moton is going to replace Matt Kalil this year.

I would love this. I don't care what we have to pay Kalil to ride the bench, we need better than we got from him last season. If that's Moton, awesome. Hell, in a perfect world, Matt would just play better.

Don't forget Tony Adams NC St G.  I would say 6th round

From all the guys we listen to every day, there could be a half dozen guys in range for us at 24

 

Raginow

Daniels

Price

McGlinchey

Williams

Miller

Hernandez

 

All have been and are still being projected in the last 10 picks of the 1st round

Is McGlinchey really projected to fall that far?  Figured he was a top 10 lock.

Mayock had him at 23 last night

Ragnow is now being projected late first, early second.

Do you want an interesting LG/C prospect that NOBODY is talking about, because he is listed as a T?

Martinas Rankin, Miss St. 

Overview

As a left tackle, Rankin will struggle with edge speed and as a right tackle he may have issues as a run blocker handling the power he will face. While he offers tackle flexibility and may get an early look at right tackle, his best position might be at center where his instincts and intelligence will stand out. The further Rankin kicks inside the better he will be. He may be average as a tackle or guard, but he could become a good NFL starter if he gets his shot at center.

 

 

Yep and he will be there in the 2nd most likely. Frank is going first probably then Daniels.

Probably come down to Price or Rankins in the 2nd or 3rd.

I would love to see us get Price in the 2nd.  Nail the first and we could be sitting pretty in the 3rd.

Me too but every year tackles are over drafted. I say mcglinchu is gone by pick 16 honestly.

I can't help but wonder what all this G/C talk means about Moton.  He had a shot last year to play some G, and we got Silatolu'ed instead.  Is Moton really being groomed to play T?  Wouldn't playing help develop him better than a second redshirt year? 

To me, there are 3 options:

1. Moton sucks

2. Moton IS going to play LG, so the Panthers will not be drafting a C early.  That is why they signed Larsen to a 1-year contract.

3. Moton is going to replace Matt Kalil this year.

 

Bonus Option:  Moton is going to play G this year, C next season.

What is wrong with you guys on here.  Dont you know that Moton is going to play LG this year and LG and C next year and then LG and C and LT the year after that.  All at the same time.  I mean I know that was Gettleman's plan, now Hurney is just carrying through with it.

Martinas Rankin is another possibility.  Might could get with one of our third rounders.

Tackle in college that some project moving to guard or center.

One problem with centers, and to some degree guards, is that you have to project some of these tackles moving spots.  Some of the average college tackles might be better pro guards or centers than some of the good college guards and centers.

Have to be a little biased as a Buckeye fan, would love to see Price wearing the Black n Blue

I think we’re sleeping on Larsen as center after Ryan retires, came in last year and there wasn’t any dropped off in performance with Ryan injured. Give me the best guard available, like Hernandez or others if we’re going that route.

Truth, and you know Panthers love the "answer is already on the roster" type players.

He wasn't bad but I dont think ever becomes Elite.
