1st Round

Kendall Fuller. 31. player. 87. Injured. Maybe. Reach? Maybe. The Panthers just parted ways with Josh Norman (I suspect for good) and they need a corner. Fuller was the best in the ACC when healthy.. Cornerback. Virginia Tech

Fuller fills the need. I do know that this may be a reach to bring him into the first round, but he is unlikely to still be there as the Panthers move through round 2.

2nd Round

87. The Panthers are looking for versatile depth on the line. Dahl has played both guard and tackle for the Cougars.. Guard/Tackle. Washington State. Joe Dahl. 62. player

The lack of defensive ends at the bottom of the second round will leave the Panthers plugging other holes elsewhere.

3rd Round

Georgia. Jordan Jenkins. 93. player. 87. Deja vu? The last time the Panthers need to supplement their Super Bowl pass rush, it was with a third rounder from Georgia named <strong><a href=. Defensive End

With defensive end, cornerback, and offensive line addressed the Panthers can spend day three looking for gems in the draft.
