[dt_divider style=”thick” /]The 2016 season was not what the Panthers planned and several things contributed to their disappointing 6-10 record. Coming off his MVP season, Cam Newton struggled at times but so did the team in general. As GM for the Panthers, drafting good football players who could compete early on was a priority.
With that in mind, here is a recap with an explanation for my Panthers selections in our three-round ITP mock draft.
As @Panthers GM I traded #8 for more picks because I had my eye on Christian McCaffrey and thought he might be there later. https://t.co/9JJ6vStKmO

Sure enough he was there at 13 and this was my guy so I tripped over myself rushing to the platform. A versatile playermaker https://t.co/O1kxUpp1SR

My final @Panthers pick and it's a position of concern plus good value here. There are still good players out there to upgrade other spots https://t.co/F70hv0T9dM
