Panthers 2020 NFL mock draft: The all-defense edition

The Panthers have a lot of needs to address this offseason. Depending on how free agency plays out, most of them are likely to be on defense.

No. 38: Ohio State CB Damon Arnette

Whether it’s Simmons or somebody else, the Panthers should pick the best player on their board in the first round. After that, they need to start hitting specific positions. Cornerback should probably be at the top of that list. Arnette (six-foot, 195 pounds) is no Jeff Okudah, but he’d bring a much-needed upgrade of ball skills to the corner rotation, whether James Bradberry is still around or not. He totaled five interceptions and 22 pass breakups at Ohio State.
