Panthers’ 2017 NFL Draft Recap

What an exciting three days! For a few years, most fans have been praying the Panthers will surround Cam Newton with more weapons, and the Panthers did that, by taking skill position players with each of their first two picks.

Additionally, fans have wanted Carolina to upgrade their offensive line ever since Von Miller destroyed everyone in his path in Super Bowl 50. The Panthers obliged, by taking my fourth-ranked OT with the last pick in round two.

While the Panthers led the NFL in sacks in 2016, most fans realized this stat was misleading, and many thought a DE would/should be the pick at #8.
