Carolina, coming off an 11-5 season, owns the 24th overall pick, a choice the franchise has never had before (The Panthers have had the 25th pick twice, in 2015 and in 2007, when they took linebackers Shaq Thompson and Jon Beason).
For what it’s worth, here’s a look at who has been selected with the 24th pick over the last five years.
2017: Raiders choose CB Gareon Conley
Played in just two games and was placed on season-ending injured reserve following Week 9.
2016: Bengals choose CB William Jackson III
After missing his entire rookie season on IR, Jackson played 15 games with five starts in 2017.
