I don't see the CB need.Bouye being suspended 2 weeks is something they already knew. As a veteran who's considered extremely knowledgeable and versatile it's not the end of the world and he has the extra time to heal up.

I could see a tackle that let's us move on from Little. Any usable tackle would do.

Honestly, I could see us move on from Little with what we got. I see Erving and Scott ahead of him at LT, and probably Daley as well. Moton and Christensen at RT. Do we need 6 tackles on the active roster?? I think not.

Blake Bortles is available. I know, I know. But he's got NFL starter experience. Can win a couple of games in a pinch. And for the right price, would likely be better than PJ or Grier. Question is what would he want for a contract.

Sign Blaine Gabbert see what he's got. That's a decent backup or...

No love for Josh McCown?

Surprised that KJ Wright hasn't been brought in to be worked out given his ties to Fitterer. Wouldn't mind DJ Swearinger getting a looksie as well to be that enforcer at SS

Question - is the team good enough that the Panthers should be willing to burn a 1st rounder next year for a competent LT?

That would also open up THE POSSIBILITY of moving Chinn back to LB if needed due to injury. 2 birds, 1 stone.

Yes. All day. Perfect backup.

Again, a great fit. If I'm not mistaken he still lives in Charlotte.

I hope we go and get KJ Wright on a 2 year. He’d be an excellent stop gap until we draft someone 2022 or 23 and we have the cash to do it

Simple answer is no, not even close.  They need every pick they can get to continue to build this thing.  They are better from the outside looking in but that doesn't guarantee anything.  They still have to play the games.

We got Teddy B instead of playing Grier which may have gotten us a couple less "wins". 

We didn't have to full out tank for Herbert, he was in reach had we not signed TB for all that money.

That's why I bring up Herbert as a mistake. Marty went to Oregon during CV19 to go see Herbert and we didn't make moves to get him.

Your timeline seems to be a bit jacked up.  We signed Teddy last year, during the same offseason that Herbert was drafted.  Signing Teddy had zero impact on our 2020 draft position...that would have been the Kyle Allen season.

Gabbert re-signed with Tampa.

We carried 3 QBs last year.

We don't undervalue the QB position (backup or starter), but we just can't find any quality. 

I believe you mean "don't."

The team is not even close to good enough.

The only circumstance in which we are trading a 1st for a left tackle should be one that is our starter for the foreseeable future. And, in that scenario, one first may not be enough to get it done.
