Like it or not, the facts are the facts: Two of the Carolina Panthers' eight draft picks over the weekend were spent on offensive skill positions, and the other six focused on defense.
None were spent on the interior offensive line, which might have surprised some because the Panthers lost All-Pro guard Andrew Norwell in free agency and have a veteran Pro Bowl center, Ryan Kalil, retiring after the 2018 season.
I asked general manager Marty Hurney and head coach Ron Rivera in their final draft press conference if the way they drafted to that point sent a message about their comfort level in the offensive line, particularly at left guard.
