The Carolina Panthers made a decision to move up to get a tackle they must have, and that being tackle Jeff Otah. The reality here is that if Otah becomes a great player the price will be forgotten.
Everyone has an opinion when it comes to draft picks, and everyone was saying that the price they paid was too much. However, once you find that franchise tackle looking back on the deal it becomes worth it.
If a team is going to succeed they must have a quality offensive line, especially a franchise tackle. However, with the talent at the left defensive end position having two tackles is just as important.
In the end if Otah proves to be a solid pick it will the draft anaylists that will have egg on their face, and not the franchise.
