The NFL Draft is now firmly in the books. But what would have happened if the Carolina Panthers decided to go in a different direction over the three-day period?
It was a historic series of selections from the franchise, who became the first team in NFL history to allocate every pick on the defensive side of the ball. While this might not have been their intention going in, it was an area of significant need given so many seasoned veterans departed the organization during the offseason.
This gives head coach Matt Rhule and his coaching staff an exciting young defense that can hopefully turn around the fortunes of the Carolina Panthers.
