16. Carolina Panthers

87. The Carolina Panthers’ decision to trade Kony Ealy was a curious one. It left them with a series of major questions at the defensive end position. Right now they’re relying on two aged players in Charles Johnson and Julius Peppers to hold those positions down with a series of youngsters like Larry Webster and rookie Daeshon Hall to pick up the slack. Not a lot to get excited about. Odds are the team will have to address this problem next year. <p>Say hello to Tyquan Lewis. The Ohio State edge rush flashed plenty of potential in 2016 with 10.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks. He’s got athletic versatility and the desired length to man that end position. It looks like he’s so close on the cusp of a breakout. All he needs is to polish his technique and learn how to finish a little better. Put him under the guidance of Ron Rivera and those things can happen.</p>. DE. Ohio State. Tyquan Lewis . 16. player
