The Carolina Panthers made some noise at the end of day two of the NFL Draft Friday night. They selected West Virginia quarterback Will Grier with the 100th overall pick. This marks the first quarterback the Carolina Panthers have drafted since Cam Newton which up until Friday night, was the longest period of time between drafting quarterbacks for any team in the National Football League.
This is a draft pick that was sort of surprising. However, the Carolina Panthers had shown interest in Grier and they had dinner with him during the pre-draft process.
