The Carolina Panthers can use, in alphabetical order, a cornerback, a defensive end, an offensive lineman, a running back, a safety, a tight end and a wide receiver.
They have one of the best tight ends in the NFL, so they can wait on the tight end.
By trading for Torrey Smith, they also have the receiver they required, in this case a receiver that has run a 4.36 40. Smith is 29, a year older than Ted Ginn Jr. was when the Panthers first signed him.
Some question Smith’s hands, but not as loudly as they questioned Ginn’s.
