Carolina Panthers’ head coach Matt Rhule made his intentions clear in no uncertain terms during the 2020 NFL Draft. A young, fresh approach ensured the franchise became the first in league history to spend every pick on the defensive side of the ball.
While there might still be holes at linebacker and the offensive line interior. There is no denying this represents a smart move from the Panthers’ front office and one that will stand them in good stead in the coming years.
Rhule and general manager Marty Hurney focused on the inside early on, before turning their attentions to a depleted secondary.
