State of the Franchise: Pending

If the Carolina Panthers move their first-round OLB to SS and their second-round WR to TE, this wasn’t too bad a draft. Otherwise, I truly don’t know how their draft and free agency too date helps them win the NFC South. They main thing for them is they go into the draft without any losses of note as the Panthers look to protect Newton.

Next: Indianapolis Colts
