It proved to be an NFL Draft that will live long in the memory for the Carolina Panthers. The organization made some bold moves to become the first team in league history to use each of their selections on defense.
This was an area of significant need going into the draft. General manager Marty Hurney and new head coach Matt Rhule have made a real effort to go younger this offseason and build from the ground up. This was further reflected in the method in which they chose the newest members of the Panthers’ roster.
