Panthers GM Dan Morgan on 19th pick: 'All positions are on the table'
TL;DR
Carolina Panthers GM Dan Morgan stated that all positions are under consideration for their 19th pick in the upcoming draft, emphasizing a best-player-available strategy. Recent free agency moves have expanded their options rather than narrowed them.
Just as they had hoped, the Carolina Panthers feel like they have allowed themselves to take the best available player next Thursday night.
On Tuesday morning, president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan chatted with reporters for his annual pre-draft press conference. And after taking an aggressive and successful path through free agency, he was asked if the team's newest additions will narrow the focus of their first-round selection.
"No. If anything, I think it opens us up to a lot of possibilities at Pick 19," Morgan replied. "I think all positions are on the table. And like I said before, you never know who's gonna fall down to us.
"So I think we're definitely in the best-player-available mindset. So, yeah, I think what we did in free agency set us up to do that."
Morgan and company attacked the open market as soon as they could last month, reeling in pass rusher Jaelan Phillips and Pro Bowl inside linebacker Devin Lloyd on the first day of the legal tampering period. Carolina also added left tackle Rasheed Walker and center Luke Fortner, both of whom seem likely to start come Week 1, and brought back 14 of their own free agents.
The Panthers' biggest remaining needs—at least according the consensus from around the league—sit at wide receiver, tight end, linebacker, cornerback and safety.
