It’s been said for months that the most crucial points for the Panthers to address are the pass rush and the offensive line.
In Dan Kadar’s latest mock draft for SB Nation, he has a standout offensive tackle pegged for the No. 16 pick for the Panthers.
16. Carolina Panthers: Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
