There’s less than a week remaining before the league holds its latest annual selection meeting, also known as the NFL draft. There have been months of speculation and guessing, aka mock drafts.
When it comes to the Carolina Panthers and what analysts have discussed and predicted over the last few months in terms of their first-round pick, the focus has gone from edge and tackle, to tight end and safety.
This offseason, general manager Dan Morgan inked pass-rusher Jaelan Phillips, late of the Philadelphia Eagles, to a four-year deal. He then added former Green Bay Packers’ left tackle Rasheed Walker to an economical one-year contract.
Lately, there’s been more talk about the need at safety, and whether a talented tight end could fall into Morgan’s lap with the 19th overall pick.
What will the Carolina Panthers do with the 19th overall selection?
