CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers had the worst record in the league last season, so they have a long laundry list of draft needs.
The problem is they don’t have a first-round pick.
The Panthers traded away that selection — which turned out to be the No. 1 overall pick — to the Chicago Bears a year ago when they got desperate for some stability at the quarterback position and moved up from the ninth spot to get Alabama quarterback Bryce Young at No. 1 overall.
Young struggled in his rookie season and the Panthers stumbled to a 2-15 record and now Carolina doesn’t have anything to show for its struggles after what looks like a lopsided trade in favor of the Bears, who got three other draft picks and wide receiver D.J. Moore.
Panthers owner David Tepper, who is not particularly known for his patience, ousted general manager Scott Fitterer and first-year head coach Frank Reich, so Carolina enters the draft with a new brain trust in place.
