Every LT in that second tier after Sewell/Slater has  major concerns

Yea of course a couple/few maaayy become LT down the road, but 2day, there maybe 3 players that are day one starting LT. Ive even seen many are calling Darrisaw a RT only too. Panthers need a LT, not RT(welllll resvist this next year...) There are 10x the RT than LT in this years draft. 

I mean if Moton will only play for 20+ million, draft his replacement form that deep group too. LOL at Motons price dream....

In terms of team needs, this draft is custom crafted for us and where we pick.  Go LT at 8, another oline in the 2nd, safety in the 3rd.  Lets not get cute and try and trade down.  Keep building the team and build the damn line

Sewell and Slater for sure, with Darrisaw being a possibility in the 1st round. The rest of the tackles in rounds 1 and 2 are RT in my opinion. 

After that, I could possibly see Brady Christensen and James Hudson becoming good LT's with the proper coaching. 

Thats what Ive been saying about the draft for the panthers.

The only way to fill that HUGE LT hole is at 8.

Those 2nd-5th round LT are not ready, they may not be ready for the whole year.

Pray Sewell is there and Fritterer makes the easiest pick in panther history. 

Its a near must the 8 needs to be used on Sewell/Slater/Darrisaw.

I don't know. If they thought he could play LT why didn't they move him there last year?

I mean we did go to our 4th option at one point but we never moved Moten there. 

I had that same thought and it could be a matter of concern since they didn't make the RT/LT switch last year.

However, if Moton expects to be paid LT money he better be able to play the position if called on.

Captain hindsight reporting, should have moved Moton to LT, let Dwilliams play RT. Done. Now you solved the OTs for the next 10 with two young studs.

Theres something fishy going on with Moton and LT, cause for yearS they needed a LT and Moton remained at RT. very strange.

LT: Sewell, Eichenberg, Jenkins, Mayfield, Little

RT: Darrisaw, Radunz, Cosmi, Christensen, Carman, Alaric

G: Slater, Leatherwood, Hudson

 

LT- Sewell

Maybe LT- everyone else.

Hes about the only true LT, others have much to overcome. Ive seen many list Jenkins(check his arms) as a OG....Mayfield may fall out of the 2nd too and hes a firm RT in many eyes.

I think Eichenberg is a "future" LT, he got the profile, just needs time. No way Id trust him week one.

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.

      Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
