While many foresee the Panthers making an immediate investment into the offensive line in April’s upcoming NFL draft, not every ‘draft guru’ sees it that way.
In Daniel Jeremiah’s 2022 NFL mock draft 1.0, the NFL.com writer has the Panthers taking cornerback Ahmad Gardner out of Cincinnati to pair up with last year’s first-round selection, cornerback Jaycee Horn. While it would make for an enviable young secondary, it’s tough to see Panthers fans rejoicing in delight if the team neglects other areas of need.
Meanwhile, Pro Football Focus, just like Mel Kiper last week, has the Panthers upgrading left tackle by snagging Mississippi State’s Charles Cross.
