Why the signing of Gross helps Mr. Scott more than the rest of us.

it would definitely be smart to draft a guy in 4 or 5 that can play guard and center well (but, by "playing center well", I don't mean "too weak to normally play guard"). I'd say we have four spots locked down for a while, but Vincent has one year left, we have no Hangartner, and Bridges can't play center.

We do have Bernardeau, who's promising, so maybe a guy who can just play guard.

Don't assume Hangartner is gone just yet (check the other thread).

Truthfully, with line continuity, we all win.

My only question is Vincent with his injury, but I expect he'll be healed in time.

The Panthers have given notice to the NFL that our running game is here to stay. They no longer can just worry about S. Smith now they got Double Trouble and our OL is intact.

I like how our players are interchangable. This past season we were able to shuffle the OL and not really lose a beat. I agree I think bringing in a player from the 4th or 5th round and groom him is a great way to go.

What we really need to do is give Dave Magazu a fat pay raise. This guy has done wonders with our offensive line. The way he develops young players has done wonders for our team.

GO Panthers

It's always great to have versatile depth. The difference between now and 2006 is we have starters who do specific things exceptionally instead of everything mediocre.

And yeah, Magazu has guys developing. Woulda been great if we'd gotten something out of Evan Mathis or Bruce Nelson, but we didn't, which is part of why Magazu has this job.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
