With The First Pick

● By Mark Sipos
As the Carolina Panthers are on the back end of free agency, the biggest question about the team has yet to be answered: What are General Scott Fitterer, Matt Rhule, and the rest of the staff going to do about the quarterback position? Fortunately for Carolina, there should be plenty of options for them this off-season. With Carolina picking eighth overall, there is a good chance that at least one of the top five quarterbacks in the draft is available, possibly two. If Carolina deems one of them as “the guy”, they could always trade up a bit to secure their franchise quarterback. Finding a quarterback that is comfortable in Head Coach Matt Rhule and Offensive Coordinator Joe Brady’s offense should be the highest priority this off-season, and lucky for the Panthers, any of the top five quarterbacks would make sense in their own way.
