The Carolina Panthers and other teams across the league got a good chance to speak with and evaluate college hopefuls over the past few days during the NFL Scouting Combine. This is always one of the key dates on the offseason calendar, with prospects taking part in drills to boost their stock ahead of the all-important selection process. Just what the Panthers are going to do at No. 6 overall remains to be seen, They could trade down to acquire a Day 2 pick and general manager Scott Fitterer also stated that finding an elite offensive lineman or potential franchise quarterback is high on the organization’s list of priorities. This is a critical offseason for the Panthers. One that could see them enter the NFC South divisional title picture if they nail their upcoming moves after Tom Brady retired and Sean Payton left his position as head coach of the New Orleans Saints.
