As you probably already know, the 2019 NFL Draft begins Thursday, April 25 at 8 p.m. ET. The Carolina Panthers, if they decide to stay put at pick No. 16, will be on the clock around 9:30-10:00 p.m. ET, where a franchise-shifting pick could be made.
I took a stab at predicting each of the Panthers draft picks using The Draft Network’s Mock Draft Simulator based on a combination of need, best player available, and Marty Hurney’s past tendencies.
Round 1, Pick No. 16: Montez Sweat, EDGE, Mississippi State
Who else was available: Greedy Williams, DK Metcalf, Jonah Williams, Devin Bush, Cody Ford
Montez Sweat is a freak of nature.
