How long the current rebuild going on with the Carolina Panthers might be aided by their selection of incoming college recruits. The organization allocated their picks wisely during a draft that will live long in the memory. And they also managed to acquire some noteworthy players on the undrafted free-agent market.
New head coach Matt Rhule got a head start when evaluating these players from his time at Baylor last season. Couple this with general manager Marty Hurney’s outstanding record of picking the right sort of player. And the Carolina Panthers could be onto a real winner.
Their task has not been aided by a lack of rookie minicamps or OTAs during an unprecedented offseason so far.
