Right now, I think we need a center much more than we need a tackle. Keep Brady and Taylor at the tackles, keep working with Deonte at guard and move Elflein to LG and let him train up both Brady and the next tackle. Look for a young guard with a couple of years experience out there in free agency, doesn't have to be a starter if he's been on one of the teams with a first class o-line already -- strong, smart and mean are the three key traits as he may have to take over at either LG or RG.

Draft Linderbaum even if you think it is too early. Grab him and set the center of your offense for the next decade. This is you Ryan Kalil move. Do not make it your Matt Kalil move. Got it?

I agree here, but I would have Elf stay at C and bring in a free agent LG--and I would make sure that RG Brown has competition.   Of course, there are many ways to do this--and I am not sure my way is better than anyone else's way of handling this--if we had 1 need, same page.  But when you have 3 OL needs AND QB--it gets complicated.

I have said before, there is only two positions this pick could be. It's either a tackle or a quarterback. No way in hell we take a corner, obviously. Trade down seems unlikely in this market, and if a qb is there that someone wants, take the qb. 

Preference list: 
1. Malik Willis 
2. Kenny Pickett 
3. Evan Neal 
4. Ikem Ekwonu 
5. Charles Cross

One of those guys will be there, we just have to make it happen.

I have seen Willis all over the place--It seems that he is a polarizing player---however, he makes me think of Lamar Jackson in Baltimore--I think he went 32nd overall--Behind four picked in the top 10, including Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and Josh Rosen (Josh Allen was the other).  This draft sure looks like that one in 2018 to me.

Today, that draft would have Josh Allen #1, and I am guessing Jackson would have been a Jet at #3.

I have a sneaking suspicion that we are taking a QB at 6. 

I've felt that way since midseason or so.

  • Passing on top prospects tackle prospects because they are QB desperate is a Panthers under Rhule thing to do.
  • Rhule's and Fitt's end of season pressers gave hints they were ok with him as the LT next season.
  • Kiper saying tackle means the Panthers won't pick one. 😁

Willis wouldn't surprise me for either reason.

A) Steal that no one else would take that high maybe b/c of McAdoodoos only good thing he brings


B) Bust that was an overhyped but at the same time under the radar(relatively speaking) type of player. In other words trying to out smart the field and derrrp

I am not sure TBH he's not like Jackson who played at Louisville and was playing against the Clemson defenses and NC State defenses at the big level among others.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      By CBDellinger · Posted

      6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
