5. Offensive tackle
Starters: Russell Okung, Taylor Moton
Backups: Greg Little, Dennis Daley, Tyler Marz, Matt Kaskey, Aaron Monteiro, Juwann Bushell-Beatty, Branden Bowen
Analysis: We aren’t crazy about the trade that sent Trai Turner to the Chargers for Okung. However, it did give the team a boost at a position that has been a sore spot for seven years, now. Moton has been the Panthers’ best offensive lineman for a while and he deserves an extension. If Okung can stay healthy and hold up his end of the bargain, it should make life much easier on Carolina’s QBs than it was for Cam Newton. There’s also a couple of quality backups here in Little and Daley. Unless this group gets hit hard by injuries, it could be considered a strength.
