The Carolina Panthers have the No. 8 overall selection in this year’s draft, with plenty of rumors swirling as to what they may do with the pick.

Don’t overthink this. The Carolina Panthers should draft a quarterback and view Sam Darnold‘s last year of his rookie deal as a prove-it one.

When the Panthers dealt for Darnold, many viewed them out of the quarterback chase in the upcoming draft. With five signal-callers expected to go in the first round, Carolina is likely going to have to make a tough decision if one prospect does happen to fall into their laps.
