Carolina Panthers News: Matt Rhule almost traded down in 2020 NFL Draft

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule was adamant in trading down from the No. 7 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft but was denied. It’s an interesting look behind the scenes as decisions were made.

Now that the 2020 NFL Draft is officially in the books, the Carolina Panthers are ready to focus on what awaits in training camp, preseason football, and eventually the regular season. They made NFL history by using all seven of their draft picks on defensive players and are hoping that aspect of the team is significantly better this time around.
