Offensive Line

Insert Little and the Panthers look to have an improved front. With Little, Williams and Moton, the panthers have three players who could all play the tackle position, but the left tackle position could solely and naturally become Little’s if he so chooses because Moton and Williams both project as right tackles.

Equally, either Moton or Williams could also slide into the left guard position. Yet, with the success of a younger Moton in place of the injured and costly Williams, it would make more sense for the team to keep Moton as the right tackle after his breakout year and insert Little at his natural position – left tackle, while moving Williams inside to strengthen the left guard position. But with estimating the front line, one has to remember that Little still has yet to play a down in the NFL and must first work to prove he belongs before instantly crowning him the team’s de facto starting blindside tackle.
