Tackles like Trent Williams who’s  32 don’t make sense for a rebuilding team. Slater’s size makes me nervous at only  6’3 , I prefer Sewell but I’m not an expert. If we sign Thuney or Scherff at guard and draft either Slater or Sewell we can cut Hart and have Johnson and Adenji as cheaper backup options. Need to protect the franchise at all costs.

Moton isn't going to be on the market, a talented 26 year old left tackle, I can't picture Carolina letting him leave.

I feel once Adenji gets a couple years in an nfl weight room he has some serious potential. You cant teach great feet and he has them. Our big issue as we all know is at starting rt. I as well as most like Sewell at rt. Not big on moving Jonah there as he is a pass blocker and not a run blocker. The other name that comes up is Slater. I do like him as a tackle but not at all as a rt. He is a pass blocker and not a run blocker just like Jonah. We could always look at adding Moton in fa but if we cant land him I feel a guy like Mayfield would be a better fit at rt than Slater. What are everyones feelings on our backup tackles and a starting rt if we cant land Moton?

Carolina is in a bad position with 80% of their offense going to be free agents and limited cap space. Both starting tackles and both starting guards are free agents and that's just the offensive line.

Daryl Williams will also be in the market at Right Tackle.

While Hart looked better later in the season that coincided with the offense changing both to run more and we started seeing Sample lined up inline at TE on Hart's side a lot. Having Tackles who cannot play on an island is forcing us to keep the TE and sometimes the RB as well in to block.

Now Jonah can play on an island at least for pass protection. Maybe the right move is to get a legit RT who does not need TE or RB help all the time and kick Hart inside to Guard?

As for Jonah Williams?  I'm not sold, he's injury prone, and average when he's healthy.  Move him into Guard, let him get healthy, he can kick out to Tackle when called upon.  This team needs a pair of Tackles, draft Sewell and sign a bona fide RT.  Re-sign Spain to bridge the gap while the man they draft, develops.
