Oh, I agree. I'm really hoping for an OT at #7, but if our top OT is off the board and Brown is sitting there for the taking? That'd be hard to pass up IMO.

You don't think Jackson (USC) isn't good enough at #7.  I understand he not as good as Thomas but is he better than Little.

Must see the combine before even looking at LTs, they must be athletic freaks even if raw because these speed rushers eat tackles this day and time.

I know we have Willis, Wirf's, Becton and Jackson but one that caught my attention is Adams out of Washington and has the ability to pass and run block.  Just as Big as the 4 I mention but has had some injuries while in college that might drop him down to a 2nd round pick.

Run downs Burns-Brown-KK-Horton/another FA runs stopping DE.

Pass downs Burns-KK-McCoy-Brown.

Dream front 4.

Burns can only play in passing situations.  He is not a 3 down lineman

He cant add weight or get better? Hes a freak athlete that showed he could even play end in the 43 last year and still manage high pressure rates. If he can shed blocks he can get to the HB.

He looked about like Byron Bell going up against Epenesa from Iowa in their bowl game.

I seriously doubt the Panthers go offensive line in the first round. I can see Derrick Brown or Simmons. Defense was a way bigger problem than the offense in 2019. With Little and Daley getting valuable experience at LT last season I can't see them doubling down again.

Are you serious? We haven't had an answer at LT since Gross left and Little was far from great in his time there.

How many injuries do our QBs needs to sustain before we figure out that protecting them is important.

Oher was good but only for a year before the concussion killed his career. Otherwise, spot on. Daley actually looked better but that is compared to backup quality.

I didn't get to see that game.  Since I cut the cord unless I read about the game I am in the dark.  Hell anyone could have had one of those games, but he is athletic enough to play LT  There can't be that big of a drop off between 1 and 5.  I have to go off what I read in the scouting reports.

I see Daley taking Turner's place.  Turner for the past two years has not been as good as he was before pay day.

Jackson is the #6 OT on most peoples boards.

Pick 7?  He'll be available with our 2nd pick

He didn't look athletic at all in that game. Epenesa isn't the fastest DE out there, he's much more of a power guy than a speed guy and yet he was blowing Jackson's doors off at the snap.

I seen him rated #2 to #3.  Walter is the only one I seen had him rated at #5.
