While the Panthers boast one of the best defensive tackle combinations in the NFL, they also follow a best available athlete approach to drafting. I expect an impressive NFL Combine performance from Mississippi State DT Chris Jones, which may make him the best prospect available when the Panthers are on the clock.
Every year, after the tenth week of the college football season, I do my Top Ten Draft Prospects I Love and Hate More Than You. In 2015, Chris Jones made my Love list. I have had him graded as a first rounder since my original big board last spring.
