The Carolina Panthers believe they have found their new long-term left tackle.
General manager Marty Hurney orchestrated a trade into pick No. 37 on Friday night, exchanging their 47th and 77th picks with the Seattle Seahawks, to draft 6-foot-5, 325-pound Ole Miss tackle Greg Little.
A league source said Hurney began making calls about trading up with Little in mind while the first round was still unfolding Thursday night.
The Seahawks had several offers, the source said, but the Panthers’ pick positions were the most promising.
