Top 10 Targets in 2020 NFL Draft

Carolina has plenty of choices at the seventh overall pick. If the Panthers want to trade back in the draft, they could possibly get Queen or Murray. If Carolina wants to stay with their seventh overall pick, they could possibly get Isaiah Simmons if he falls past the New York Giants.

The Carolina Panthers would love a new cornerback for sure; losing cornerbacks James Bradberry and Ross Cockrell, they need to get a number one cornerback in the 2020 NFL Draft. If it is Jeffrey Okduah, C.J. Henderson, or even Kristian Fulton, they all are cornerbacks that can play either man coverage or zone coverage.

Carolina needs to get some help up front on defense after losing McCoy and Poe to Dallas; they need to find their replacements. Getting a player like Derrick Brown that is run-stuffer in a division that has Alvin Kamara and now Todd Gurley. The Panthers also could go with more of a pass-rushing defensive tackle in Javon Kinlaw. Kinlaw has raw traits but with live game reps Kinlaw will just get better and better.
