If there's a run on DE, I like the idea we draft a OT that can play G for us this year. I like Williams and Ford.

[SetfreexX]

I've been watching Moton's reps at LT, 3rd pre-season vs NE, and Week 1 vs Dallas...

If we go OL in the 1st or even 2nd, I like the way our OL is shaping up, 

Moton / Rookie / Paradis / Turner / Williams

Key Depth- 

Larsen / GVR / Later FA Addition

I'm of the mindset even though we kicked the can on all the AAF OL, we bring in two via the draft, 

I'd be 100% ok with 

1st - Edge

2nd - S or OL

3rd S or OL

3rd - OL or DL / Edge

4th through the rest of our picks - HB / WR / BPA

I’m hoping we don’t pick an OL with quality DL still on the board.

Quality OL is in limited supply. If you can get one, grab him.

[Captain Morgan]

not sold if he can be a RT in the league....and he won't be there for our 2nd.  Great player though.

[SetfreexX]

We don't ''NEED'' OL in the first at this point after FA the Edge is the weakest position group right next to safety. As it stands we could start the season with the top 5 OL we have and be in better position (pending health) by a pretty decent margin as Paradis is an upgrade over Kalil at C, Moton is an upgrade over Kalil and Clark at LT, Williams back to RT is a former 2nd team All-Pro one year removed, and LG (GVR/Larsen/Mahon) is likely adequate to last seasons performance from that spot, and Turner is returning. 

Considering the Tackle bust rate, and the fact that darn near every analyst mocks a tackle to us in the 1st round the last several years I'd be shocked if we passed on a pass rusher to draft OL. 

We drafted Moton in the 2nd, Turner in the 3rd, and Williams in the 4th, Paradis was a UDFA. I'm much more comfortable with a Day 2 prospect at T/G than I am with a selection in the 1st. 

On paper at least the OL hasn't looked this good since Gross' final season in 13', and the 15' season. 

[Shocker]

With Cody, even at guard the offensive line becomes a competitive edge to be honest.  

[SurvivalSloth]

I honestly hope Ford is the pick given his versatility. Protect my QB at all costs.

[JARROD]

People will grumble but Ford would really be the BPA at our pick—— I really don’t care about DE or OL or CB or whatever. Get a star.

[thunderraiden]

We are probably considering him if we have to trade back if Ferrel and him are the only options available at 16.

[AggieLean]

Where’s the OU guy, as I’d like his take on this guy? I believe his name was nctarheel or something like that. He was right about that lineman that everyone said would bust.

[Basbear]

If ford is the BPA, football gods help us. He's a great looking RG, TT is here and signed for a premium. Sure he could play RT, again Panthers have not one but two young guys that are more than able and had at least one great seasons. Love the player, just not the match for this Panther team.
