Offensive Tackle. Indiana. Jason Spriggs. 31. player. 87. <p>The Carolina Panthers have finally lost a game, but that does not diminish the incredible season they have had. Cam Newton will be an obvious Most Valuable Player candidate and most likely the consensus winner. He has been able to play extremely well despite not having the previous year’s first round pick Kelvin Benjamin, who tore his ACL prior to the start of the season.</p> <p>The defense has also played amazing this year. Josh Norman and Luke Kuechley have had very strong seasons, while Kawann Short has had a breakout year.</p> <p>The focus for Carolina will be on the offensive line, where they have a hole to fill at left tackle. Michael Oher was a one-year plug and the team isn’t expected to bring him back.</p> <p>Jason Spriggs is a little known prospect out of Indiana, but I love him at left tackle. Despite having a tall frame, he does not lose his balance or leverage and can handle strong pass rushers coming off the edge. I think he would be a great fit for a team like Carolina who like to have a balanced offense. He is very worthy of being the final first-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.</p> <p>Previous Pick: Jason Spriggs, OT</p>
