When the Panthers won their Week 17 game against the New Orleans Saints in the legendary Kyle Allen versus Teddy Bridgewater showdown, Carolina ended up finishing 7-9 instead of 6-10. This victory caused the Panthers 2019 first round draft pick to fall from a potential Top 10 selection to No. 16.
I’m on record as saying I’m fine with this for two reasons. First, football is supposed to be entertaining and it was dang fun beating the Saints after seven straight losses. Second, I believe the NFL draft is largely educated guesswork so if you trust your scouts and GM to nail the No.
