After trading for quarterback Sam Darnold, it seems highly unlikely that the Panthers would draft Justin Fields at this spot. Darnold will be better set up for success in Carolina than he ever was in New York. He’ll play behind a solid offensive line and throw to a talented group of weapons including D.J. Moore, Robby Anderson and Christian McCaffrey.

With Darnold in the mix, the Panthers should look to address the defensive side of the ball. Cornerback Caleb Farley possesses rare size for the position and does an excellent job of utilizing his frame and length. Those physical traits and ball skills are always highly coveted.
