Panthers pounce to draft players they covet
CHARLOTTE – The Carolina Panthers entered the 2015 NFL Draft with nine picks at their disposal.
They exited the draft with five players they believe offer more than they could have possibly gotten out of their nine original slots.
"I love all five picks. All of these guys are legitimate NFL talents, and I'm thrilled we got them all," general manager Dave Gettleman said. "I feel right now that we're absolutely better."
It was by no means a defined plan entering the draft, Gettleman said, but Carolina twice traded a trio of picks to make a significant move up in a given round.
