The Panthers used the No. 70 overall pick (after trading multiple times to get to that point) to select former BYU offensive tackle Brady Christensen. This selection gives the Panthers some much needed depth on the offensive line and gives new starting quarterback Sam Darnold a potential left tackle of the future.
It’s clear the Panthers had a strategy with their draft class: they wanted athletes who could be taught the ins and outs of their scheme, and that trend continued with the selection of Christensen in the third round. Darin Gantt recently covered Christensen’s athleticism with an in-depth piece for Panthers.
