Panthers 2016 NFL Draft Results: Panthers select CB Zack Sanchez in 5th round

The Panthers have selected yet another in the trio of cornerbacks calling Carolina home in 2016. Zack Sanchez out of Oklahoma will fight for a spot on the roster that fairly thin three days ago is filling up fast!

Experienced cornerback who has cover experience against current and future NFL receivers. Sanchez is a feast or famine cover man whose instincts run him into interceptions but also into aggressive mistakes that can cost his own team. His lack of size will work against him on draft day, but his ball production will be heavily weighed by teams looking for coverage help from a third cornerback.
