I just meant in terms of him struggling early.  It obviously is not the final word on his career, I expect he'll still be good.  Just saying I'm surprised that 1) they switched him to RT, and 2) that he is struggling at all.  Just didn't expect it, but he's got plenty of time.

They switched him to RT because they already have a pretty good LT who is young on the roster.

Not saying the kid is a bust, but I think the Horn pick will work out better for us. Makes me wonder if we really would've chosen him if he was available at #8? Something tells me we wouldn't have?

If we passed on Fields AND Sewell for a CB at 8, I might have actually cried. They can justify Fields because they invested in Darnold, but a LT of Sewell’s caliber when we have Erving penciled in is inexcusable.

Hes below drinking age, hasnt played close to two years, and learning a new spot in a totally new environment. Hes behaving like a rookie, not surprising going against 280Lb man-beast vets. Just me but I do not judge ANY rookie til the start of the 2nd full off-season(unless cut or 1st/2nd team all-pro). There were reports of him being immature in interviews and at college, idgaf. Part of the reason for me thinking he would be at 8, was loins had a good vet at LT, but like DLmen you can not have enough good OLmen either. Loins are like the Jets about players not wanting to be drafted by them, sorta ruin careers given the history......(but new people are in charge at both, so it could change like it did for browns....just took 20+ years...).

It's obviously WAYYY too early to pass judgement on Sewell. But it's interesting that our 3rd round pick that is also being asked to play RT after playing LT his whole career seems to be playing a fair bit better than Sewell in the preseason. At the very least, that's gotta make you feel good about drafting someone you can say that about when Sewell is supposed to be a generational talent.

Christensen isn't going against starters.

Which is frankly hilarious. Nothing says success like drafting a position you already have a really good starter at, then changing the draft picks position. All while having serious holes everywhere in your roster.

Lots of insight here.  I must have been drunk and missed the entire 2021 season.  Thanks for catching me up on how the rookies performed.

Hey man, Madden picked us to lose in the Super Bowl, so things aren't all that bad.

      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...
