When you are the NFC Champions and coming off a Super Bowl, win or lose, there are few holes that your team needs to fill. Many will watch what happens in regards to the teams free agents, especially cornerback Josh Norman but the Panthers will still need receiving help. It’s amazing how much production the team got out of receivers that wouldn’t be on many other rosters.

Ted Ginn, Jr. has been very reliable for the Panthers despite inconsistent drops. Some of those drops could have cost the team wins. Lucky for the Panthers they haven’t…yet. The Panthers will get their big receiver back next season in Kelvin Benjamin but you can’t have too many weapons for Cam Newton and Boyd could be a huge addition to an already dangerous offense.

The New England Patriots do not have a first-round pick this upcoming draft as it was part of the “DeflateGate” punishment imposed by the NFL.
