minutemancl Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I guess OL play isn't something a lot of people follow. Moton is a pretty damn good T who would have broken the bank had he hit the open market next year. That 2017 draft was a good one for the Panthers. McCaffrey, Curtis Samuel, and Moton. They also drafted The Buttkicker, but obviously he didn't stick around there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna act like I"ve watched their past seasons close whatsoever, but still kinda surprised this is a name people don't recognize. But... lol dude was taken just behind Juju at the end of the 2nd round and just ahead of Kamara...... has started every single game the past 3 years. I remember in the 2017 draft he was getting talked about a lot as a day 2 type guy. Corey Davis was blowing it up at Western Michigan, so he got a lot more attention than he probably would have if there wasn't a player getting clear first round buzz at his school.

He (Western Michigan) and Dion Dawkins (Temple, IIRC) were the two guys that had some pretty easy-to-see talent pre-draft, but were projected inside to guard because they weren't highly-touted and played for small schools. While Forrest Lamp, from WKU, was LOVED by draftniks (ultimately fell to the second day, though). Anyways, both Moton and Dawkins have been really good but gotten less attention than the day 1 guys or Cam Robinson. I think both were day 2 targets by the Rams that year, IIRC. 2017 was a weak OL draft overall, and it took some time for some of the talent to round out into form, but we still got a few pretty good starter-caliber OTs out of it. I'd honestly probably rate them: Ryan Ramczyk Dion Dawkins Garett Bolles Taylor Moton Cam Robinson And then you have Julie'n Davenport and Sam Tevi, who have fairly consistently been starting tackles since being drafted, but both have been major liabilities for their teams.
