Panthers 7-round 2020 mock draft version 2.0: Pick locally

In addition to attempting to fill the void left behind by Kuechly with the first pick, we chose local prospects whenever it was reasonable to do so.

No. 38: Oklahoma DT Neville Gallimore

Even if the Panthers don’t wind up cutting Dontari Poe for cap savings, they still desperately need fresh blood for the interior of their defensive line. Kawann Short will continue to be the anchor. Everyone else’s future is up in the air, though. Drafting Gallimore (6-foot-2, 302 pounds) in the second round would provide some stability. He posted 8.5 sacks, 17 tackles for a loss and five forced fumbles in 46 games with the Sooners.
