Pick 24: Carolina Panthers
Jaire Alexander – CB
The Panthers need to fix their secondary and Alexander should help immediately in that regard. He is a talented corner who could use some next level coaching but the Panthers shouldn’t have a problem getting the most out of him and developing him into a solid corner.
Wide-receiver is also a need but again there are not many receivers that grade out as first round talents. They could also use DE help as well but the board isn’t shaping up for them as they may have hoped.
Rounds two through four should provide the Panthers enough opportunity to fill the other gaps on their roster.
