Finishing with a 6-10 record, the Carolina Panthers will select 8th in the upcoming NFL Draft. When the Panthers are on the clock in April their immediate needs vary and general manager Dave Gettleman is best known for selecting the best player available.
In need of assistance at offensive tackle, defensive end, running back, and safety it remains to be seen if one of those positions coincides with Gettleman’s philosophy.
Looking back over the past ten years of draft history the following players were selected as the 8th overall pick.
2007 – Jamaal Anderson – DE – Atlanta Falcons
A seven year veteran with four different teams, Anderson recorded 132 tackles with seven and a half sacks over his career.
