#28 Carolina Panthers: Jimmie Ward, NIU S

Rory’s Take: The defensive backfield has been shredded for the Panthers due to poor cap management and replacing what I believe to be the overrated Mike Mitchell is essential.

Chase’s Take: Carolina will have to rebuild a secondary that was key to their success last year, with Pryor/Clinton-Dix off the board the enticing mid-major prospect Ward vaults into the first round for the first time in our mock draft evaluations.
