Honestly, any situation where Brady Christensen starts for us - even at guard - is nothing but a win.  It would mean the draft has yielded at least three starting caliber players from three different rounds.  That's the sort of drafting that builds a franchise from inconsistent to perennial winner.

Well, that is a post season discussion more than a preseason discussion. Sometimes starting a rookie isn't necessarily a good thing. On our OL, starting may not mean that much.

I think Horn, Marshall, and Tremble are already showing themselves to be starters, or at least players who will have situational roles in the case of the latter 2. BC starting, and playing well, anywhere on the line is certainly a win, and would make four!

I always try  to beat a dead horse, but Moton at LT and Christensen at RT sure solves a lotta problems.

It doesn’t solve anything If they aren’t good at it.

As good as Moton is at RT we want to believe he will be that great at LT but that isn’t always true, and to be honest his sample size over there is rather limited. 

Speaking of sample size, thinking BC solves anything at RT is nothing more than wishful thinking at this point.  He is a rookie who never played in an NFL game and only has a few snaps in practice under his belt.  History tells us most OTs struggle their first year in the NFL, for him to be anything better than average would be an exception.

Pretty much the only player we know for sure can play above average at their position based on recent history is Moton at RT, anything list that is hoping.

I believe his assumption was they both won the job and are playing well. It would solve our tackle issues for years to come.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He has better hands, significantly larger catch radius (like absurdly so), and better at 50/50 balls for a start, while he also already runs a more full route tree that is already at an NFL level. And before you say Hunter does those things well, I'm not saying he doesn't, but T-Mac is just better at them, just like Hunter is better at some things as well, such as pure speed/quickness and his ability to separate (and yes, separation and route running are two separate things, you can be a poor route runner but elite separator due to quick twitch ability). T-Mac has 3 legitimate weaknesses, 2 of which are easily improved upon in the NFL with proper coaching, with the 3rd just being due to his size and is a trade off for what you get from his size.   His get off at the snap and separation are two things that with coaching and just growing as a player, will get better.  Particularly because he's already an elite route runner, he just needs to improve his first couple steps after cutting to get that extra half step of separation.   His raw top end speed will always be what it is, it's not elite like Hunter, but it's MORE than fast enough to be successful in the NFL, particularly due to all his other positives.  As I've noted before, he was clocked at 20.8 MPH (I think this was the number, not going back to find it right now though) during his first 2 seasons in college, which would have been the 8th fastest a player was clocked in an NFL game this past season. You're taking these responses in this thread as if people are saying Hunter is a bum who couldn't cut it in the NFL as a WR if his life depended on it.  But we're really just saying he's a better CB prospect than WR, but even as a WR he's probably the 2nd or 3rd best prospect in the draft and still a 1st round pick.  We're also pointing out that you just can't ignore the wear and tear that his already thin frame has been put through by playing both ways for 3 years and the very legitimate concern about how he'll hold up long term in the NFL because of it, even if he only plays one side of the ball moving forward.

      Geez people are very passionate about Travis Hunter. He seems like a solid dude. I think he has a great deal of potential wherever he ends up. For myself and my knowledge of Panthers draft history I'm ready to see us stop gambling on raw WR prospects and putting a much heavier emphasis on fundamentals ie route running and hands. But that's just me.
