We have to go tackle in the second round, right?

I say you draft two or three IMO.

It will be a mistake to not end up with 2-3 OL in this draft.

I don't expect us to end up with 2-3 OL from this draft. I am honestly getting the feeling that this staff/FO may have a lower priority on OL than the previous coaching staff/GM.

I sincerely hope I am proven wrong over the next two days.

Rhule has yet to draft a offensive player period.

The FA OL signings also left a lot to be desired. I just get the feeling their mentality about OL is that you can throw together a unit from JAGS and make do. We are in year two of doing exactly that. 

But....still lots of draft left to prove me wrong.

Well if thats the case we will be picking top 10 again next year.

We better not take Walker Little.  At least not before the later rounds.  Hasn't played football in 2 years and has injury concerns.  You can't spend a 2nd on a player with those risks.  It'd have to be a late round flyer.

And his last name is Little. I'm not drafting another Little in the 2nd round.

I agree 100% but holy hell I am just not understanding why we are not addressing the offensive line.  This is insanity.   Assuming we pick a safety

so far that's just how the drafts last year and this year have fallen. it's not like there's a giant conspiracy against the OL. If sewell had been there, we'd have taken him.

there are a few solid OL prospects on the board right now. it is likely that one of them will be BPA, or at least close enough that we will take one at 39, but who knows. if moehrig falls all the way to our spot, or if everyone in front of us goes OL, then we will be in a spot again where OL isn't our best pick.

I really like teven and even if you think he projects as a RT that might be a good way to not have to pay Moton, slide teven into RT and that freed up money you can use in FA to address LT next year. We’ll see.

Or move Moton to the left.

Well we haven't exactly made good FA OL moves either. I think that makes me suspicious much more than the drafting.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
