TheKillerNacho Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I'm giddy. Low price for OT help so badly needed. When the Panthers made Little a 2nd round pick in 2019, he was expected to be a future starter for them, but he seems to have struggled a bit. Can Panthers fans provide more insight?

FinSting Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Played LT for Carolina, how bout playing RT in Miami? From what I read, nagging ankle injuries slowed development during his first two seasons. Sounds like a Year 3 guy that's only at a Year 1.5 level. Worth a 7th-rder to find out if he can become a decent tackle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) I read the title of this thread and almost had a coronary. I thought it was the Jaguars trading Walker Little to the Dolphins for a 7th round pick. Not that he has been a huge star yet, but he has shown a lot of promise in the preseason and it would be pretty crazy to trade a 2nd rounder this soon for a 7th. Glad it was just my bad vision at work here. Edited August 17, 2021 by Uncle Buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a guy with actual NFL experience was needed, not another UDFA hopeful. Though some no-name UDFA hopefuls might be better than the Fins' backups on the O-line amirite.

MKnight82 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I mean for a 7th why not? Seems like a decent reclamation project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Patriots move, grab a guy whose value is super low that at one point had a lot of potential and attempt to rehab it. It doesnt work more often than not but its never not been worth the risk.

swoosh Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 This won't work. He last played played in 2014 and wasn't good then. And then they're asking him to switch from WR to OL. Odd. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Maybe he can be a 3rd swing tackle? If he can do that, its a good trade for both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a reaction to Austin Jackson’s poor camp and even worse showing in the first game. Dude had like 41 snaps in pre season after starting last year. They’re trying anything to either upgrade or motivate him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just geometry and stuff. It's RT that's more worrisome and Fins haven't found one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
