DRAFT TRACKER 2020

(NOTE: Needs appear in alphabetical order.) First-year head coach Matt Rhule has a deep collection of glaring voids to fill on a defense that has to replace most of its starters from a year ago. They need starting-caliber players at every level on D, starting up front, where Kawann Short and Brian Burns can take on half of the starting D-line duties (the Panthers are reportedly going to run a 4-3 under Rhule). Luke Kuechly's retirement, James Bradberry's departure and the release of Eric Reid punched big holes in the back seven. On the other side of the ball, Carolina acquired left tackle Russell Okung but gave up a starting guard for him (Trai Turner) and lost another starting guard (Greg Van Roten) in free agency, creating a need on the interior O-line.
