Left tackle is a position that has plagued the Carolina Panthers ever since the retirement of Jordan Gross back in 2014. Fans have been banging the table for drafted talent to be brought in ever since, and the belief was that we would have to use a high first round draft pick to reasonably acquire one. In a spurt of unusual luck, the first round fell very favorably for the Carolina Panthers, allowing them to address their other pressing need in the pass rush by taking Brian Burns at No. 16 overall while at the same time leaving quite a few legitimate left tackles available at the end of the first round.
