Keep Sounding: The Panthers go defense on Day 2

Day two of the 2020 NFL Draft is complete. The Carolina Panthers selected defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos and traded up to select safety Jeremy Chinn. On today’s show:

  • Brian made a bad typo on the Facebook post about Chinn
  • We have officially dubbed Gross-Matos with a nickname
  • Funny stories from Day One of the draft that we didn’t talk about on the last episode
  • Gross-Matos fills a need that wasn’t really talked about
  • Gross-Matos and Derrick Brown are a strong foundation for a defensive line, especially with Brian Burns
  • The Panthers may have solidified their defensive line for years to come
  • The Panthers did address their secondary with Jeremy Chinn
  • How Chinn fits multiple roles, which is kinda what everybody wanted in Isaiah Simmons
  • Chinn was a second round pick instead of a third round pick, but it probably doesn’t matter despite us trying to figure out how it could matter
  • The Panthers show a clear direction with their first three draft picks
