Outside cornerback was far from the Panthers’ only need in the secondary, though. They also needed a replacement for Eric Reid at strong safety and somebody to take Javien Elliott’s place in the slot. By trading up for Jeremy Chinn at the end of round two, they may have been hoping to fill both holes with the same pick. Chinn’s obscene size and athletic testing should enable him to shut down most slot receivers at this level. He may be a better fit at safety next to Tre Boston, though. The challenge for Chinn will be improving his man coverage skills, especially with Rob Gronkowski arriving in the NFC South.
