Finally the 256th — and final — pick in the 2018 NFL Draft has come and gone.
And while there were surprises at every step of the way, there were also Carolinas players to be found in each and every round. Below are the 24 players selected with ties to the Carolinas:
u25aa Bradley Chubb, No. 5 overall, Denver Broncos (N.C. State defensive end): Arguably the top defensive player in the draft pairs with former Super Bowl MVP Von Miller.
u25aa Jaire Alexander, No. 18 overall, Green Bay Packers (Louisville cornerback): Rocky River High alum will contend for a starting job immediately.
