Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney targeted a wide receiver with the team’s first pick of the 2018 NFL Draft. When on the clock back in April at No. 24, no player from the position had been selected previously leaving the pool of prospects wide open for the Panthers.
Having their pick of any player, Carolina made Maryland standout D.J. Moore the selection and after being eased into the position early, he’s definitely making strides down the stretch. A complimentary weapon opposite Devin Funchess on the outside, Moore has contributed to the Carolina offense both through the air and on the ground.
