Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner (54) is likely the greatest No. 47 pick in NFL history. Jeff Siner jsiner@charlotteobserver.com
Historically, the second round of the NFL Draft is full of players with first-round talent but with “something” missing in the eyes of the league’s talent evaluators.
Maybe it’s a receiver with blazing speed, but poormeasurables like DeSean Jackson. Or a small-school offensive lineman like Larry Allen. Regardless, there are quality, franchise-changing players available in the second round of nearly every draft, and the Carolina Panthers will get the chance to take one with the No. 47 overall pick.
