NFL Network’s draft expert Mike Mayock has shared his 2018 NFL mock draft, and he had an interesting pick for the Carolina Panthers at No. 24 overall.
24. Carolina Panthers – Calvin Ridley, WR (Alabama)
Ridley was the second of three wide receivers to come off the board in Mayock’s mock draft (Courtland Sutton went to the Cowboys at No. 19; D.J. Moore went to the Saints at No. 27).
My take
It’s an interesting pick because almost every mock draft I’ve seen up to this point has Ridley going before the Panthers are on the clock.
