ESPN projects familiar Carolina Panthers first-round pick

The NFL Draft is fast approaching and as it nears analysts from around the country are honing in on making their mock projections. While only those involved in the Carolina Panthers war room know who exactly is on the short list for round one – one thing is certain, the team needs immediate assistance on both the offensive and defensive lines.

Weakened by injuries and retirements, respectively, both front line units for Carolina are in need of a young star. General manager Marty Hurney has a long history of home run first-round picks, although his record following may be less than stellar, fans should have full confidence in his decision.
