The Carolina Panthers went to work to rebuild its offensive line this offseason. During free agency, the Panthers spent big money on Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis to take over as the teams starting guard. The Panthers also decided to keep Ickey Ekwonu at left tackle, in favor of moving him inside to guard, and brought back Taylor Moton for another season at right tackle. The remaining starting offensive line position will be held by Austin Corbett, who moves from right guard to center. Corbett has experience playing center but its limited to a few weeks during OTAs with the Los Angeles Rams. Considering his overall lack of experience and the regime change, will the Panthers look to draft a center? Julian Council discusses why he believes it's time. According to ESPN's Jordan Reid, there's a possibility that all of the starting caliber centers will be drafted prior to the 3rd round. Can the Panthers afford to wait until 65 to select a center?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, h

The 2024 NFL Draft is expected to boast a deep class at WR. Despite the addition of Diontae Johnson, the Carolina Panthers remain in need of more difference makers at the position. Unfortunately for Carolina, they aren't scheduled to make a selection until Day 2 of the draft when they lead off the second round with the 33rd overall pick. Other teams like the Chiefs, Bills, and Chargers sit toward the end of the first round and could look to add receiver help. How would a run on receivers in the first round impact the Panthers?While the focus from fans and draft experts is on the Panthers adding to the offense to begin the second round, would it be wise for the team to sure up the defensive line, much like they have the offensive line?Julian Council answers these questions among other listener questions in this week's edition of the Weekly Friday Mailbag. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Carolina Panthers have been in the market for a veteran wide receiver as the team met with Michael Gallup last week and was scheduled to meet with Mike Williams before he agreed to terms with the New York Jets.
