There's your OL depth.

He might be a lot more than death. It would be nice to see him next to icky again. BC could take Corbett's spot until he returns or become full-time backup at all four positions other than C. Obviously, all that can get sorted out during camp. I'm not sure about McCray and Mays is still too much of an unknown. Nice to have options.

Panthers selected NC State G Chandler Zavala with the No. 114 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Zavala (6'4/322) can move and jump and change directions with the best of them, as exemplified by his 9.5 RAS. A 96th percentile vertical and 87th percentile bench shows how his upper and lower body strength in isolation. What makes his ability scary is when he can utilize the two halves together. During his 17 games in Raleigh, he has only allowed 1 QB hit and 7 QB hurries while conceding no sacks. Though he has only demonstrated game tape from the left guard position, Zavala has practiced on the right side before, making the side versatility an option. He has good awareness, adeptly picking up on stunts, ensuring a victory on the play leverage. His power also allows him to hold the advantage in body leverage a vast majority of the time. Like many linemen from lower levels of competition, his biggest returns to development will come in hand techniques. However, there is no reason to believe that Zavala won't succeed in multiple schemes as he can also move well enough to play out on the edge on pulls. The Wolfpack were a somewhat surprising team in 2022 and Zavala had a huge part to play in contributing to their success.
