Mays was chosen because he has the tool and now he has one of the best O-line coaches in the game.  We are clearly looking to pound the hell out of teams on the ground.  

You have to give credit to Fitterer because they said O-line was a priority and we add a couple of solid vets and two rookies that could possibly start.  That doesn't count our very good 2021 rookie Brady Christensen.   

It's not going to be impossible for us to believe our worst unit, by far, becomes one of our best units in one off season.

The line had so many soft guys on it last year. Physical talent is great but that unit needs to be tough. It looked like Iike a wet noodle 4/5s of the time most of the year in 21.

Bring it young man. Great to hear.

This is why we always need to grab an OL in the late round as well. They seem to have higher success rates than other positions in the later rounds. It looks like we might actually have some OL depth now. 

100%.   I think we should be drafting at least 2 linemen per draft.   You literally cannot have enough of these guys.

This year I think Mays will be the backup RG.  My question is who is the starting LG?  Elf, Erving, BC or Brown?  I mean Mays isn't out of the question, but he's best suited to stay on the right side where he's taken a majority of his snaps, IIRC.  Ultimately I'd like to see either BC or Brown win LG as the other two are out the door after this season.  Speaking of which, if either of those two (Erving, Elflein) can't win the starting LG spot, that's a LOT of money tied up into backups.  Yes, their dead cap is significant enough that riding the bench is better than cutting them outright.

Outside of Moton, last year's OL starters will likely be backups this year and last year's backups are likely cut after camp.   What difference one year makes!

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
