With the 2019 season basically over, it’s time to start looking ahead to April and the 2020 NFL draft.

Free agency will obviously dictate some of these moves, but here are a few positions the Panthers need to address in this coming draft class.

Defensive back

James Bradberry and Ross Cockrell are both going to become free agents in March and Donte Jackson has struggled in his second season, so cornerback is a major position of need for Carolina. They should definitely target one in the early rounds, perhaps even the first. Safety is also a potential need with Tre Boston hitting the open market and plenty of room for improvement from that unit. Expect a lot of focus on LSU prospects in the coming months, with corner Kristian Fulton and safety Grant Delpit both linked to Carolina in mock drafts.
