uture contracts for the 2019 season Stitched Christian McCaffrey Jersey , guaranteeing them a spot on the roster once the new NFL year begins in March. (Note: This does not mean they cannot be waived/cut... it just means the Panthers want to see what they can do in OTAs and/or training camp.)Here is the list of 13 players from the Panthers’ website. It includes all nine members of the practice squad as of the end of the 2018 season plus four additional names. (The four names at the bottom of the list are the new additions.)The team also announced that they have waived quarterback Garrett Gilbert, who filled in as the backup quarterback to Kyle Allen for the season finale against the Saints last Sunday. Gilbert entered the game in the second half when Allen was injured and went 2-for-3 for 40 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions in limited duty. The Panthers need help on the defensive line.

Will they address that need with the No. 16 overall pick?ESTShareTweetShareShareThe Panthers add former Michigan pass rusher Rashan Gary in Dan Kadar’s latest mock draftThe Carolina Panthers will have just two defensive ends on the active roster when the league year begins in March—Mario Addison and Marquis Haynes—so it’s no secret that they must find players to fill out the depth chart before training camp begins this summer. As we’ve discussed several times already Youth Marquis Haynes Jersey , there are two ways to accomplish this: Free agency and the NFL Draft.Just like last week, Dan Kadar from Mocking the Draft has given the Panthers a pass rusher in his latest mock draft. Last week he mocked former Florida Gators defensive end Jachai Polite to the Panthers, but this week it’s former Michigan Wolverine Rashan Gary who ends up in Carolina.My main concern with this pick for the Panthers is that I’m not sure that Gary will fall all the way to No. 16. I think he will be a good player in the NFL Stitched Marquis Haynes Jersey , and I think he’s definitely worth a first rounder, but I’m not sure he lasts until it’s Carolina’s turn to pick. WalterFootball lists Gary as the No. 2 defensive end in this year’s class after Nick Bosa, and believes that he could play defensive end in either a 4-3 or a 3-4 defense.If WalterFootball’s analysis is correct Youth Ian Thomas Jersey , Gary’s versatility could make him an attractive option for the Panthers. But at the same time, if Gary is that versatile how would he fall all the way down to No. 16 overall? If he truly is the second best defensive end in this year’s draft class (a notion that I disagree with, mind you) I don’t see many scenarios where he is even available for the Panthers to draft without trading up to get him. At that point Stitched Ian Thomas Jersey , I’d rather just pick the best player on the board at No. 16. I don’t think the Panthers can afford to trade away draft picks to move up in this year’s draft—there are simply too many holes in the roster to do that.What do you think, Panthers fans? Would you be okay with drafting Gary in the first round? Let’s hear what you have to say!
