The draft is just two weeks away and with Carolina’s first pick likely to depend on what falls before them, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them add a player at a position of strength to further beef up the roster. Kenan Goyette has the eight addition of the Panthers Mock Draft.
Round 1: Sterling Shepard WR – Oklahoma
The Panthers don’t need a receiver. Not in the first round or really any other. Kelvin Benjamin will be back with a solid group behind him. But when you have a roster that’s as packed as Carolina’s is and has a few holes as it does, you can afford to get a little greedy and while it may seem slightly unnecessary, grabbing a receiver like Sterling Shepard at the end of the first round could pay huge dividends.
