I predict Paradis to play well this year.  Much of what was wrong with him last year was complicated blocking schemes that most Centers dont have to deal with. 

And he was strengthening a leg--but scheme is a reason a lot of players fail to succeed.  Let's hope this season is different.

Solomon Kindley, Ben Bredeson, Netane Muti, Damien Lewis, Robert Hunt, John Simpson, Matt Hennessy. All middle round guys that could come in and start immediately 

If a mid rounder starts, it is usually a benefit to the other team. DC's love a rookie.

I said best since he can play both tackles slots.  If he couldn't fill LT slot then a move of Morton and Willis to opposite sides would not be earth shattering.  We will have to pay Morton next year or someone else will.   I would love to have Thomas but I am afraid he will be gone.  If not the grab him.  Willis or Thomas will be a great pick for the OLine and then you can get your center in the 3rd round.  Only one person would I want to see taken above a LT and that would be Okuda from Ohio State.  

Friendly heads up...

Its kind of hard to take you serious when you are calling them Morton and Willis in this thread.

Also its Okudah.

This article is a good breakdown of his strengths and weaknesses.  It also explains some of the weird ways the Panthers would use him.  Such as not having a guard help at the snap to allow him to get in stance.  They would also ask him to block edge defenders a lot.  

I'm not saying he is a great Center, but I do believe coaching hindered him a bit here and he is certainly better than he showed last year

So you are Mr. Perfect...I will make sure I remember that the spelling police are around so they can wrap your knuckles with the yardstick as the Nuns did back in the day.  Why is it hard for you to comprehend that I speak about both?  I can see them as great Tackle combination if you can't, I can't help that.  I like Thomas if we are only drafting for a Left Tackle.  I have no faves other than protecting Teddy B this coming year and any QB we have in the future.

Misspelling common words is no big deal, but misspelling names can be considered disrespectful.

Thank you for telling me that.  I do normally check the spelling to be sure I am right.  Just in a hurry and didn't proof read my post.

Panthers are due for some luck and simply can not fill ALL the needs. LG is a perfect spot to get lucky on, either form UDFA or a waiver claim. I had hope for a couple guys, but they are already gone(green was one). No idea if Reed could be the answer, hes got a small head start on anyone else right now.
