Five offensive linemen the Carolina Panthers could be targeting in the 2018 NFL Draft…

The Carolina Panthers do not currently have a permanent general manager but expectations are that interim Marty Hurney will eventually be granted the full-time position. In his previous tenure with the title, Hurney displayed a tendency to nail first-round picks but falter in the later rounds.

As our trip around the Panthers roster begins in preparation for the upcoming NFL Draft, there are numerous areas of interest where youth could be injected into the lineup. Beginning with the offensive line, one of the main questions to be answered is the future of guard Andrew Norwell.

Unlikely to have the franchise tag applied, the Panthers could make an offer to Norwell or let him leave and receive some compensatory picks. Either way, center Ryan Kalil has already announced his plans for retirement following next season and Carolina will have to determine if Tyler Larsen is the future anchor up front.

Continue to view a few offensive linemen who could be on the Panthers radar as the NFL Draft approaches.
