Carolina Panthers beat writer Jourdan Rodrigue (Charlotte Observer) has released her third and final Panthers 2019 NFL mock draft. Rather than being an update to her previous releases this is more of a third option. In this edition she selects an offensive linemen in the first round instead of a defensive end.
Round 1, Pick No. 16: Cody Ford, OL, Oklahoma
Ford is a versatile, pro-ready “mauler” type of offensive lineman who could immediately help the Panthers solidify their line. If the team wants to play third-year tackle Taylor Moton on the left, slide tackle Daryl Williams in at left guard and play Ford at right tackle, they could.
