Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is able to elevate average receivers to the same level as other Hall of Fame quarterbacks. The issue over the past seven years has just simply been his surrounding talent.

After watching a third heartbreaking loss against the New Orleans Saints – filled with drops and missed opportunities – the Panthers need to address the wide out position via the draft.
