Overview

While some will argue that too much draft stock is going into the offense, it is important to recognize that the Panthers are attempting to surround Newton with deadly weapons in his prime.

By adding Kirk, another mismatch tight end, Chubb and Smith to an offense that already features McCaffrey, Funchess, Olsen and the superhuman Newton, Carolina can have the firepower to legitimately go punch for punch with any offense in the NFL.

The defense didn’t get much love during this draft. However, any linebacker core is elite with Kuechly. Also, the Panthers defense features the solid rotating defensive line and rising corners that are getting better with each year.
