Poll: Give us your grade for the Panthers’ 2022 draft class

Two weeks ago, Carolina Panthers receiver Robby Anderson made it extremely clear that he did not want Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield on his team. So considering said team just traded up to select a quarterback this weekend, it’s no surprise that he approves of the job they did in the 2022 NFL draft.

Three days’ worth of prospecting has given the Panthers six exciting, well, prospects. Whether they’ll be expected to make an impact right away, marinate a bit on the chart or provide some much needed depth on a growing roster—the following group of players has many folks feeling pretty good about Carolina’s progress moving forward.

  • No. 6 (First round): Ikem Ekwonu, OT, NC State
  • No. 94 overall (Third round): Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss
  • No. 120 overall (Fourth round): Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State
  • No. 189 overall (Sixth round): Amaré Barno, DE, Virginia Tech
  • No. 199 overall (Sixth round): Cade Mays, OL, Tennessee
  • No. 242 overall (Seventh round): Kalon Barnes, CB, Baylor

So, are you one of those optimistic folks? Let us know how you feel below!
