Most ideal situation is a slight trade down where we could get a A+ guard prospect and a good WR. 


Powers Johnson, Van Prann at OG and Troy Franklin at WR are my top targets this early in the process. Franklin IMO is worth taking outright, if hes not there id trade down a little, pick up one  of the OGs, and get one of the Wrs from Texas, Legette, dude  from UNC, the Michigan WR is there.

This class is super deep at WR well get at least one decent one. To be real they could even double dip at WR in R2 and R3 if they make a splash OL signing in free agency.  Can get a guard  later for depth.

A lot of the better teams are always looking to develop and draft pieces to their oline. Just look at the teams vying for the Superbowl. 

Lions - Oline proficient at pass and run protect. Reiff and Ragnow are recent draft picks.

Ravens - best run blocking oline in the biz. Scheme, playcalling and a mutant at QB helps but...

49ers - ya see a theme. 

Chiefs-  they keep Mahommes fairly clean. 

Teams that compete add Olinemen early and often. The reason we all got excited bout Ikem was because we rarely take Olinemen.  We historically ignore the position and plug in FA retreads.  So yeah Powers should be a target.

Zach Frazier enters the chat..... He's a nother big nasty center and tone setter.  4 year starter, started as a true freshman. 40+ total starts, 35+ at C, others at LG. Was the key to their extremely physical run centric game.  Powers and SVP get the headlines, but Frazier as the 3rd C off the board in possibly the 3rd robbery. 

 

There are 3 really top end centers this draft, get 1 dammit.

Very good center draft this year, imo. Something to like about each of the top 3, and I think with 2 Guards returning from IR (And BC was not that good at LG), Bozeman having a year where he got beat a lot (could be the reserve Guards on each side, but I saw him get blown up by NTs)  the middle needs attention.  I am for it.  At 65, Powers Johnson will be gone--if we had a first rounder, he would be a great second round selection.   I would take either Frazier and Van Pran and be as giddy as a little school girl.

Yeah SVP may as well. Really the top 3 are top 100 draftable players, even factoring in position value. After those 3, imo it's a nose dive to blah.

There is maybe 2 others that interest me: dude from Wisconsin, Bortolini, then the dude from Louisville, Bryan Hudson. Saw Hudson as a freshman play pretty damn well at VT. He was a standout for the beastly rushing attack for 195ypg this year. He's not the best pass blocker, but a mean SOB in the run game. He's projected as a UDFA, and I think that's a little much. Bortolini is a big dude and the better athlete. Another one that's better in the run game currently. He likely has better projection based on size, length, athletic traits. He's maaaybe 4th but likely later rounds for us.

      Team Cap Space: $35,099,731 (per OTC)

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Other than being the offseason and there isn't much to talk about, why does anyone worry about the cap? We can do whatever we want and still have cap space. You don't think the front office hasn't already figured it out and what they intend to do. Me I am just sitting back and watching. After all my job isn't on the line if we lose. Although at my age we don't have forever if I am going to live to see us play in another superbowl

      I get the TD's and I pointed it out, but like I said, when Burrow had more than double the TD's than Geno had, I think Higgins increased TDs compared to DK was more a product of Burrow and the Bengals offense than because of him vs DK as WRs. When one of their QB's finished 4th in MVP voting despite missing the playoffs and the other was just traded for a late 3rd round pick and replaced by Sam Darnold, I think that's a tough narrative to brush aside to just look at raw stats as well. Again, swap DK and Higgins last year, do you honestly believe DK wouldn't have put up better stats than Higgins did? Contracts and trade compensation aside, I'm taking DK over Higgins 100 out of 100 times, there is no debate about it for me.

      More TDs last year in less games (double the TDs) and more yards per game. Those are some tough stats to brush aside. Career stats are good but we are wanting the player for what they are currently. DK had some drop issues too.
