O-line is a bigger need than D-line

[CPF4LIFE]

Cant go into next season with roten and Larsen as starters, gotta get an upgrade for at least one of them.

This has been the case since Cam was drafted.

Protecting QB1 has never been a priority.

And with Rivera as HC it never will be

You can get a sevicable pass rusher in the 3rd round also.... Hardy, Johnson and Addison where all mid round picks.

 

And a good OG isn’t cheap anymore. 

 

Like I said above I want a Clowney or Lawrence than go Center or LT in the first. And yes we can sign a premier pass rusher if the owner is willing

Addison it took a few years before he really developed into producing

Hardy was a 1st-2nd round guy who fell due to off the field issues.

 

You can get a dam good OG in the 3rd.  See Turner and Norwell as a UFA.

 

DE we need someone to produce Now

And a NT is a big need.  Atlanta fans warned us and made fun of us for Poe.  Its not a coincidence of KKs and the LBs game drop  off this year.  When your NT is getting pushed around by 1 guy.

And there are guys like Hardy in every class. You can get a good pass rusher in the mid rounds like I stated earlier.

The patriots haven’t had an elite D-line in 13 years.

 

Sorry but the d-line doesn’t have the franchise 100 million dollar player behind it. Keep getting your QB killed the d-line won’t matter

The Patriots are literally the only exception to that and it’s because they have the greatest player in NFL history. Notice that when they lose it’s usually because of their defense, not their offense.

Like Haynes, Hall, Butler, Ealy, Alexander, McClain, Fua, Brown, Irvin, etc...

The Panthers have drafted three impact players on the defensive line in the last 11 years and none in recent history. Heck, our three best offensive linemen were drafted in the past five years and in that same time frame we’ve come up with ZERO defensive line starters because we keep trying to find a diamond in the rough.

The OL can be fixed through simple tweaks, the defensive line needs a complete overhaul that starts with getting an elite player in the first round.

When you have a defensive coach like NE you shouldn’t need to use high picks on defense, they should be able to develop mid round talent. NE was actually won cause of their defense, they had the number 1 scoring D in 2016 and held the best offense to 21 points

 

I can name guys like Silatolu, Robinson, Kugbila all midround pick that amounted to nothing. And no you can’t fix the o-line with simple tweaks, those tweaks has gotten our QB injured again. And who are these 3 best o-lineman? Williams? Lol Addison is a better player than any O-lineman except Turner

We can literally address both with early draft picks and free agency
