Let’s map out what the Carolina Panthers may decide to do in each round.

The Carolina Panthers unleashed a shocker late yesterday when they decided that Josh Norman was not worth the cost of doing business.

That added to the excitement as people tried to understand what exactly the Philadelphia Eagles were thinking when they decided to move in to the two spot in the draft for ‘quarterback considerations.’ Is there some secret Sam Bradford trade that we don’t know about?

After mocking the first round three different ways, it is time to look at what the Panthers might do at each of their spots. The team has one pick in every round except the sixth round. They had no glaring needs to address until yesterday opened up the cornerback spot.

The Panthers have a cornerback lineup of Bene Benwikere, the recently signed Brandon Boykin, Robert McClain, special teamer Teddy Williams, and Louis Young. Since Boykin was signed to be the nickel, another cornerback is needed. As for the rest of the mock draft, we will fly by the seat of our pants.
