The Carolina Panthers continued making picks in round three today. Two more players were added.

Oh, the humanity! Finally, the Carolina Panthers were on the clock! I could hardly contain my excitement! I was sweating profusely! My heart rate was up to about 250 bpm.
Maybe this was too much to take. Maybe it was some bad chicken salad I had earlier in the day.
