O-line is a bigger need than D-line

I don't think so. I think Moton and Williams can be the future at OT for us. We definitely need better depth though.

If Williams can return healthy.

Newhouse hasn't exactly been great on the left, but he hasn't looked quite as awful as Chris Clark did. Had they switched Moton to the left and put Newhouse on the right earlier this year, who knows?

Big thank you to Ron Rivera's roster management skills...again.

The pass protection is a disaster and has been all season. I say we bring in a big name free agent pass rusher and go o-line in the draft early and often.

 

 

Just exactly where you going to get all that money...

[Lumps]

still going with d line, but BPA when it comes to the draft, FA will be there to address lineman as well.

Watch film and stop paying attention to Pff, Williams is trash and Moton is mediocre. Starting from center to LG our line is a disaster. Larsen is a jag that won’t make a 53 man roster on another franchise 

I watch games, I don't watch "film" (internet lingo for YouTube clips). I've sang the worthlessness of PFF ratings for years. Know who you're addressing.

I personally think if there's a franchise left tackle there in the first round the Panthers should take him. Left tackles are impossible to find in free agency, but pass rushers come out every year, because of their expense.

Oddly, offensive linemen used to be considered about the safest 1st round picks you could make. For the last decade they've been about the riskiest. Tons of busts.

[Cdw]

I'm hoping Williams comes back and we end up with him and Moton starting, that combo should be better than anything we've had in years.  We do need depth all along the line.  Center probably should be a draft priority though Larsen can start.  

I wouldnt be upset at all to see us draft nothing but O line and DEs all draft long.

Moton is solid

Williams is not going to be expensive.   Coming off knee injury and only 1 really actual good year

 

 

We have

Mario Addison

And

All 235 pounds of Marquis Haynes under contract for next year.  The same Marquise Haynes who has only been active 2-3 games this year because he gets pushed around so easily.

That IT, as far as DE under contract next year

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poe- gets pushed around too dam easily.  Falcants fans are Laughing telling us "I told yiu so about Poe"

KK Short trying to do it all but cant.

A Bust in Butler 

 

And not going to be able to get a solid pass rusher cheap, or a replacement cheap.  Like you could in getting Williams to come back at RT and slide Moton over.

 

Theres only 2 LT in this draft who wouod be worth the Pick.

 

Greg Little has been trash this year and stock is plummeting.  Only thing keeping him up in the mock is his athletic ability and teams needing OT.

Can't imagine why our injured qb has struggled so much.

[Shocker]

We currently have the 11th pick

[ncfan]

Also a hint

 

 

When we get down 

We have to pass

When we have to pass

Pass rushers feast and its easy for them.

When the D is getting roasted its not helping the OL

I would argue that no team has enough depth at any position to survive the sheer number of injuries the panthers suffered this year on the offensive line. 

That said it's pretty obvious the Panthers are going DB, OL, DL in the draft in whatever order makes sense.

Also in free agency.

[LinvilleGorge]

Unless there's just an absolute steal available, the only offensive players who should be on our radar in the first three rounds are OL. I really like our offensive skill position players and we have needs all over the D.

[Gladniator1]

If it were me, the first 3-4 picks would BPA on offensive and defensive line.  If a blue chip on either side falls to us in the 1st, then grab him and go opposite in the 2nd.  We are a solid O-line away from dominance next year.  CMC, Cam and our new young WR's and TE will do wonders behind a line that can keep Cam upright for 5+ seconds.  I believe that our o-line problems are the main reason we hit the skids.  Tired of them going for "jags" there.  Get some talent and watch the win column raise incrementally each week.  

[Harbingers]

We’ve been playing with 3 backups. What does anyone expect?
