Love the pick. He's got plenty of potential to be an elite LT from my review.

We may have finally drafted our steady anchor at LT. Future's looking bright.

A lot of your haters are gonna be Saca Lovers after this post, bro.

Nice work!

Until the combine he was being rated as a first rounder, unless I'm mistaken.

Na, he was slated a top 10 pick pre season but after the season he was dropped back.

I don't mind that he put feelers out. The fact nobody bit shows that he used restraint and didn't offer anything ludicrous. I'm extremely happy with how things have went to this point. 

This. I don’t mind that he tried at all. The fact a deal wasn’t made shows he wasn’t willing to give up that much. Though losing 77 was an overpay. If little works out it’s worth it

Everything seems to be he just needs the coaching. Talent and athleticism are there, so hopefully Matsko and Wharton can bring everything together.  If he's coached up, he's our LT for the next 10 years.

I remember back in 2010 we tried to trade up for a player that we thought "other teams were wrong about" too.

We don't have a very good record on general with players that other teams devalued. Hope this one goes better

compare the amount of homework done on both players. sorry, weak comparison. clausen was an unknown to hurney. panthers spent more time with little than any other prospect this year. they knew what they wanted and liked what they saw. he put in the same or more work in little as he does in all of his first round homeruns.

Guess  we  should be grateful we still have our first next year.

Matsko clearly liked him and matsko made Chris Clark into a serviceable left tackle.  He also turned daryl William's, trai Turner, and Andrew norwell into pro bowlers.  I'm willing to give the benefit if the doubt for a guy they clearly loved and wanted as a part of our team

This is the good news.  Matsko is a Tackle whisperer.

Isn't that because he was gonna be our pick at 16 if Brown didn't fall?

I'm skeptical of him. But he's a Panther now, and he has my full support.

I'm hoping he turns out to be everything he wasn't (dependable, hard-working, leader) that I watched in the SEC for 3 years.

if hurney had got him in the first, then through hurney magic he would have been first team all pro his rookie year.

Now, in the second? He might already be dead

pretty much. this was an educated and informed decision by someone who typically does well with his first round picks. due diligence was done.

and there's this. we only lost one pick in a round that we had two in.
