Panthers Hint They’ll Take A Quarterback Even If Other Players Are Ranked Higher On Their Board

At the risk of making this Panthers Depot, all eyes should be on Carolina and the #6 pick later this month. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, that’s where the draft could start for them, even if they don’t turn in their card until #20. The Panthers are one of the QB-neediest teams out there and in a recent interview, Carolina GM Scott Fitterer hinted the team is likely to draft one at #6, even if it isn’t the highest-ranked player on the board.

He spoke with the Panthers’ website in a preview of this year’s draft and was asked if the team will look at a quarterback with the sixth pick.
