James is more of an inside run blocker...

James, a sixth-round draft pick by the Panthers in 2000, plays with a mean streak and gets pop at the point of attack. He has good upper-body strength and uses his hands well. Has good initial quickness, takes good angles and generally gets good position. Plays with a non-stop motor and works hard to finish his blocks. Has adequate short-area mobility, stays balanced and can redirect in pass protection. Has a quick pass set. Generally prevents penetration. A college tackle, he is a much better fit at guard despite lacking prototypical lower-body strength. Must play with sound technique. Won't overwhelm at the point of attack, comes out of his stance too high at times, and has problems getting movement in short-yardage situations. Has only adequate size. Won't wear down defenders. Lacks range and isn't fast enough to pull around the corner. Seems lost in space at times, and has problems adjusting to the moving target at the second level. Doesn't always get good knee bend in pass protection. Bull rushers can push him back. James never stops working as a run blocker and has good footwork in pass protection, though he will need to be protected at times.

I'll just be happy with James and Woody. Seth will be a good center, Smith will progress at LT, and we will find a good RT.
