Carolina Panthers 2016 NFL Draft order
Here is the complete 2016 NFL Draft order for the Carolina Panthers.
In 2015, the Carolina Panthers fall just short of the mountaintop that is winning the Super Bowl. After going 15-1 and rolling through every team in the playoffs, the Panthers weren’t able to flex their muscles one last time against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50.
The Broncos made Cam Newton uncomfortable the whole game and they just couldn’t get anything going on offense. The defense, which included superstar cornerback Josh Norman, will look different again this year as Norman had his franchise tag rescinded and re-signed with someone else.
They still have their ferocious front seven and will be getting Kelvin Benjamin back this year, which means they should be one of the contenders to win the Super Bowl. The other contenders have gotten better, so the Panthers won’t be alone in their quest.
However, with Norman gone, the Panthers might have to adjust their draft strategy and could choose to go in a variety of areas with their first round pick. They hold the No. 30 pick in the draft, which means that they have the second-to-last pick in the first round of the draft. Here’s the complete 2016 NFL Draft order for the Panthers.
