The Panthers made their first draft pick of the Matt Rhule era on Thursday, bringing in big defensive lineman Derrick Brown to lead the charge up front on the Carolina defense. The defensive makeover continued on Day 2 with two picks that our experts believe were some of the best value picks in either round. The Panthers are faster and more physical and it's going to show right away. We'll be tracking every player they take and every grade they receive for those picks in this space throughout draft weekend.
