The Panthers traded away a fifth and sixth round pick to move up eleven spots into the next to last slot in the fourth round to select the wispy defensive end from Mississippi. Some are calling the 6’2” 235 lbs player a linebacker, but I think the Panthers plan to keep him at defensive end.
He will need to put on some weight and add some muscle, but he has time to develop. The Panthers will hope he keeps his speed even after adding 25 or 30 lbs and use him on third down speed packages.
