2021 NFL draft: Panthers awarded 2 sixth-round compensatory picks

The Carolina Panthers will be getting two compensatory picks in this year’s NFL draft, both coming in the sixth round.

The league just made it official. Here is a look at each 2021 comp pick, per Michael Signora.

These two extra sixth-round picks account for Carolina losing defensive tackle Vernon Butler and offensive lineman Daryl Williams in free agency last year. Both signed with the Bills and had relatively strong 2020 seasons.

Keeping Curtis Samuel around is still our preferred choice, but if he does walk the Panthers should at least be in line for a pretty solid comp pick next year.
