The time has finally arrived. We are now just days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft and a crucial step in the rebuilding of the Carolina Panthers. These are either anxious or exciting times for fans considering the unique format for the franchise this year with no first-round selection. Heading into the draft, general manager Dan Morgan and head coach Dave Canales have made it clear they want to make the team overall a better, more cohesive group. In their pre-draft press conference, they mentioned that the team is looking for playmakers in general and not singling on a specific side of the football. As we all know, Bryce Young showed glimpses of being a great NFL quarterback throughout his rookie season, including a breakout performance versus the Green Bay Packers late into the campaign. Surrounding him with sufficient talent is near or at the top of the list for Morgan and Canales, but they also understand the need to take away the football. Especially the former, who was a star linebacker for Carolina in the early 2000s.
