The Carolina Panthers’ pick is in and the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft behind us. With it, plenty of impact players have now joined the NFC South division.

The Carolina Panthers opted to draft cornerback Jaycee Horn with the No. 8 overall selection, giving them a solid player at the position to build around and put alongside No. 1 option Donte Jackson. While the former South Carolina standout was a surprise addition, he is expected to be a high-impact prospect and will be a welcome addition to a rebuilding defense.
