A first round LT isn’t our only solution to solve the LT problem and it’s not the only opportunity. 

Well, oddly enough, drafting the consensus top rated LT in the first round is the most direct and obvious solution.  Strange but true.

I'm down with this.  Dallas has two third rounders, one being a comp pick #99.  That is spot on for the value of this trade.  The first of their third rounders is much too pricey and they would balk.

If the QBs and Sewell are gone, we trade back with Dallas pick up an extra third rounder and draft Slater at #10.

Interesting trade back but I have also seen mocks where both Sewell and Slater are gone before 8, but that scenario is where and why Pitt and Chase are there at 8.  Slater may not be there at 10.

IF both Sewell and Slater are gone at 8, take Darrisaw at 10, which feels too soon?  Darrisaw at 10 or Pitt at 8?  I just don’t know...

The two unknown variables to consider right now no matter who the Panthers select at pick eight are what will ultimately happen with Taylor Moton long term and the looming void at center which is also really important. The Panthers offensive line is anything but one pick away or even just a few moves away. It will be a process spanning the next few seasons and that's if everything goes according to plan and without injuries.

Let's hope Erving and Elflein can keep Darnold upright long enough to pass it to Pitts.  I won't hold my breath.  I mean unless we unleashing the TE bubble screen attack on the League.

I mean, it’s not against the rules to draft O-line after the first round.

This is basically how Ryan Grigson ran the Colts.

It's a huge reason why Grigson got fired and why Andrew Luck is now retired.

I never said LT or offensive line wasn't important. Hell, I've said if we do draft Sewell and Leatherwood is there in the 2nd round I think we should draft both (I love his versatility and he would be a monster guard). I just don't think you pass on Pitts with the options available to us if he's there.

People need to realize that teams don't think in terms of need and just drafting the next highest ranked player.

Fan's board:  OT1>OT2>CB1>TE1

Teams think in terms more of grade.

Teams board might be something like: OT1>TE1>CB1>OT2

or even 

OT1>TE1>trade down>CB1>OT2

The team could easily have Pitts and Sewell in a totally different tier than everyone else.  If Pitts and Sewell are both gone I could actually see us trading down.

      Let's trade Moton

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I think that had his knees been in good shape, he would have been extended by now.  My opinion is based on the fact that they do not to seem to confident about his knees, so should we?  On the other hand, all veterans are playing with some chronic injury of some sort, so how much weight do you give it?  And in today's market, Moton's salary is not overblown.  Unless your concern becomes a problem, you stay the course, I would think.  But Moton will probably not be our tackle when we are a playoff team, so the time to start grooming his successor is probably this year.

      Top insider Tony Pauline 2-round mock draft (Panthers love Mykel Williams and will take him)

      The Athletic FS had a Panthers fan write in about Mykel vs Jalon. Derrick K was surprisingly in favor of Mykel but gave a pretty compelling argument. You’re getting a baseline great run defender with some nice pass rush potential. You’re not getting the hyper athletic, violent, burst off the snap type, but he’s a grinder who can maintain a great level of play throughout a game. He’s the ideal type to eventually have paired with the more peppy/athletic edge rusher. No one says to avoid a 1B just because you don’t have or can’t find a 1A. And who knows, he could still become a double digit sack guy. 86” wingspan is monster. With Jalon, you’re using him as an EDGE. So you’re banking him fitting a super rare spot, that only Parsons has really followed through at. Myles Jack and others just didn’t work out as well. They mentioned you may just be getting a shorter Luvu-plus rather than a Parsons-lite.  Mykel at 8 will not surprise me in the least, and it could be a solid move.

      I thought you said he never made use of a TE in his systems before... seems like from your post that he did. Just sayin'...
