The offensive line is a position group that the Carolina Panthers have rarely had any stability on, dating back to the years leading up to drafting Cam Newton. Most of the reason for that has been a lack of consistent investment, or at least quality investment, through the draft leading to a heavy reliance on free agents and UDFAs.
Drafting Greg Little in the second round of this years draft was a major step in the right direction to sure up the left tackle position, which has been the most neglected of all. Later in the draft, after trading out of their original sixth round pick, the Panthers selected Dennis Daley, a left tackle out of South Carolina.
