NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah held his annual conference call ahead of the 2019 NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, which begins this week.
Jeremiah’s big-picture evaluation of this year’s draft class is a pretty good fit for the Carolina Panthers’ top needs.
“To me, it’s all about big guys,” Jeremiah said. “Premier talent and depth at the defensive line position. Inside, outside, it’s outstanding. And it carries deep into the draft.”
Carolina is in desperate need of an infusion of speed and starting-caliber talent at defensive end. At their first-round pick point, No. 16 overall, it’s likely they will have a plethora of promising pass-rushers from which to select.
