Actually, Daniel Jeremiah has a lot of close ties to North Carolina, and went to Appalachian State, so he's usually one of the better when it comes to assessing things for the Panthers. This time, though, I was like "he's crazy."

Then I looked at what Taylor Moton is going to be costing us over the next three seasons. We need him for 2023 (and cutting him would not in any way improve our cap) but in 2024 and 2025 we'd save $10.7 million and $17.5 million by cutting him and letting someone else pick up the tag. And Moton, while still good, hasn't been great and those salaries he's scheduled for really demand greatness. 

A starting tackle on the first round salary schedule for four years and with a fifth year extension looks really attractive from a dollars and cents sense. Bookending it with another first rounder (Icky) on the same line looks really genius both in cost and impact.

Still, I'd rather see a DE or TE in that spot for us.

I'd been advocating for a while that we're going to need a replacement for Moton in the near future. Not sure if I want to use this year's first for it but then again, we had drafted Luke Kuechly when we still had Jon Beason (although I believe this was after Beason was out for an entire season due to injury). Don't really know how Skoronski stacks up but if he's seen in a similar light to Ickey last year, I can see us making this move, especially if we go the bridge QB option.

I was referring to what Jeremiah said. I agree with you about fans complaining about the state of our oline. 

There are certainly arguments for going OL this draft. I would even say it's probably something the staff should do. But this draft reeks of someone who hasn't paid attention over the past year and is going off of previous narratives.

I actually think it's wise to go OL every draft, but not necessarily in the 1st. I like the idea of constantly bringing in new IOL talent and constantly developing a backup swing tackle in the 2nd or 3rd if we have a spare comp lying around. It's very possible for injuries to take down 2 or 3 linemen a year, and that constant influx of youth and development is requirement for maintaining a strong offensive line.

I'm honestly not even wasting my time with mock drafts this year, because I think the top five draft order will dramatically change. Why get worked up over who this guy has up picking at 9 when we really might not even be picking there? 

And I'm a guy that usually spends WAY too much time on mock drafts. A friend and I even go back and forth doing every-other-pick (seven rounds) on google sheets the week before the draft.

The only hypothetical where I’d like this is if we sent Burns, Moton, and one/two of our 2nd round picks for #1. 
 

Then we select Bryce Young at #1 and Skoronski at #9. Sign a DE in free agency and we’re looking good for the next decade if we hit on those two picks.

Only 0 lineman I would want is one of the top centers in the draft with the 49ers 2nd rounder if we can't work a deal out with Bozeman....Now if we got Skoronski in a trade down where we picked up another 2nd or something and could keep filling out holes it doesn't make me sick, but we have bigger issues.

      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.

      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.
