Message! Add Jeff Otah to Our 2008 First Round
By Brinson | April 26, 2008
A lot of people bitched about the Panthers’ inactivity in the offseason, but near the end Fox and Hurney got kind of warm and suddenly we’ve got a very competitive team. Add to that competitive team Jeff Otah, offensive lineman for Pittsburgh, and now a starting tackle for the Carolina Panthers.
Mel Kiper gave this pickk a “B” and ESPN says the “fans” gave this pick an “F”. Both of those are absolutely stupid. We just landed our second rated (behind Jake Long, obviously) offensive lineman and our top rated running back in the first round. This is what’s called a coup. Great job by Hurney and Fox.

Shows what the fans know. Once again Carolina picked the best choice for the type of team they are trying to build. No other lineman in the first round has his blend of size and power along with plenty of upside. He could become our Johnathan Ogden and anchor the line for the next ten years.
