Every year in the NFL Draft, there is always at least one pick in the top ten that makes everyone do a double take. It’s almost a certainty that some team(s) will draft some player(s) who hasn’t even cracked the top 20 picks on most mock drafts. There are tons of possibilities where the Panthers get their pick of elite talent at the eighth pick, but let’s look at the worst possible way the Draft could shake out:
The Set Everything on Fire and Riot in the Streets 2021 NFL Draft
- New York Jets - Zach Wilson, QB, BYU
- San Francisco 49ers - Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State
- Miami Dolphins - Ja’Marr Chase, WR, LSU
- Detroit Lions - Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida
Clearly, this is not what is going to happen tonight.
