In a final canvassing of mock draft universe, UTEP guard Will Hernandez and Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson led the way as the Panthers' predicted pick at No. 24 in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Both have been universally viewed as guys expected to go somewhere in the twenties throughout the process, and several mockers are identifying them for a Panthers team with a question mark at left guard and in the secondary.
Beyond those two, a half-dozen or so prospects have a single mock drafter backing them, with wide receiver Calvin Ridley getting the most love among the skill position prospects.
