Coming off a Super Bowl runner-up season, the Panthers entered the draft looking for that extra push. They return many weapons, but lose one of the game’s top cornerbacks Josh Norman. GM Dave Gettleman was able to address his team’s needs and got who he wanted. Carolina had five picks and are hoping they can help the team reach the Super Bowl once again, but with a different result. Gettleman focused heavily on the defensive side of things, but also gave Cam Newton a new target.
- Vernon Butler, DT, Louisiana Tech
- James Bradberry, CB, Samford
- Daryl Worley, CB, West Virginia
- Zack Sanchez, CB, Oklahoma
- Beau Sandland, TE, Montana State
