I'd take a strong veteran mentor for our top 10 pick rookie LT over a conditional late round pick. What are we gonna do, draft another long snapper?

Icky was never going to bust   Who wa s Gross' s mentor?  Did he have one?  Did you ever hear of bundling picks?  Did we not draft a he'll of a kicker once upon a time not so many years ago late in the draft who is now one of the best for another team?

I think Campen is doing just fine. Erving would not be missed. 

He is. But there's more to being an NFL player than just the Xs and Os and on-field technique. Mentors are a good thing for kids trying to learn how to be professionals while also dealing with being newly made millionaires.

But muh 5th rounder for ERV!!!

You have to forgive me, Im a draft whore. It does much sense to keep him, even if its only for Icky. You can also look at it form this side too, If a team signs him, the panthers are in line for a decent comp pick as well(i bet). 

Still alllll that said, I would still take a 5th and tell Icky to text Erv.....

I honestly think his value is more along the lines of a conditional 7th. Hence why I'd rather keep him.

Mentorship is not a part of his contract.  He's overrated and overpaid.  His replacement was just signed and now it's up to Campen to get him ready should he be needed.  Ikem has a backup already in Christensen.  Any of the remaining backups can play guard.

You're not getting out from under the contract. I'd rather have the mentorship over the conditional 7th.

    • Demetrius Knight is a steal at this point. He is flying under the radar but Luke Kuechly and Mike Rucker voluntarily brought him up in their interviews with the Panthers. He is smart, instinctive, and violent. There is a lot of chatter of Jalon Walker possibly being considered at 4 with Patriots and Jaguars at 5. If those teams are considering him at that high in the draft, we shouldn't complain picking him up at 8. Teams who interviewed Walker says his football IQ is equivalent to a defensive coordinator. I would be thrilled with Walker. 
    • Getting a general one going in the main forum a week ahead of the draft. Take this all with a grain of salt.  This stuff usually ends up wildly different; but truths are peppered in.   Notes as of late: The common top-4, barring trades: 1-Ward, 2-Hunter, 3-Carter, 4-Campbell (I do wonder if NYG take calls) Giants are seeing Shedeur once more but still sounds like they're leaning Carter (Maybe trading up from 34?) Jeanty to the Jaguars is starting to pick up legitimate steam.  Vegas odds have dramatically increased, Brugler and a few others have switched him as their JAX choice at 5.   If that happens, the Raiders could very well be eyeing Jalon Walker Jets choice to come down to Graham vs. Warren vs. Membou (if all 3 end up available) Panthers have been linked to both UGA guys, mostly Jalon Walker.  Buuut do wonder what happens if Graham is there.
