Should they trade for a veteran DB?

Nowhere is that need greater than in the defensive backfield, which is easily the most inexperienced and weakest group on paper for this team. Tre Boston, Jeremy Chinn and Kenny Robinson give them some solid depth at safety, but the Panthers desperately need to add more help at cornerback. The Athletic recently reported they’re calling other teams about secondary help. However, even if they could trade for Deion Sanders in his prime, it likely would not move the needle much in terms of their projected win total. It might make more sense to let the rookies take their lumps and learn rather than give up draft capital for a veteran corner.
