With Christmas right around the corner, this time of year is all about presents. For our first 2020 NFL mock draft, let’s try to find some potential gifts for the Panthers in the first three rounds of the upcoming draft.

11. Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn

Carolina’s defensive interior rotation could look very different next year and they need some new blood. Brown is an unbelievable athlete for his size and is so powerful against opposing offensive linemen. With few upcoming free agent IDL this year and next, landing Brown with the No. 11 pick to help upgrade what has been a disappointing interior pass rush should make Panthers fans feel like it’s Christmas in April.

Other options: Oregon QB Justin Herbert, LSU S Grant Delpit, LSU CB Kristian Fulton
