The Carolina Panthers have more flexibility in this year's NFL draft with the No. 24 pick than they did with the No. 8 pick last year.
That's a good thing, because they have more needs this year, too.
Or, in the words of general manager Marty Hurney just two days before the first round of the 2018 NFL draft, more options at the pick point.
"I think we're in a little bit of a unique position because especially in the early rounds, outside of quarterback, we could bring a player in if we think he will have an impact," Hurney said Tuesday.
