2. Carolina Panthers

2. player. 87. By far one of the biggest shockers of 2016 is how far the Carolina Panthers have fallen. This was a team that went 15-1 in 2015. They were just short of winning the Super Bowl. Better still they were getting one of their best offensive weapons back. However, things started going south when they inexplicably let Josh Norman walk. Now the defense is a mess and scrambling for answers. The utter lack of a pass rush certainly isn’t helping. Ron Rivera needs answers on that side of the ball. <p>Taking Myles Garrett would seem almost unfair considering the talent they have on that roster. The perfectly timed arrival of a guardian angel right when they need it most. Garrett is everything they could hope for. He’s a big, athletic and dominant edge rusher who can beat blockers almost at will. He gets around the end with speed and knows how to finish. Better still he’s got the build and power to play defensive end with his hand in the dirt. Just imagine what his addition would do for Kawann Short.<br /> </p>. DE. Texas A&amp;M. Myles Garrett
