6. Tight end
Kuechly isn’t the only beloved veteran who the Panthers lost this offseason, of course. Greg Olsen was released and has since signed with the Seahawks, opening up a huge hole at tight end. While 2018 fourth-round pick Ian Thomas looks promising, he’s had some issues with drops and replacing Olsen is going to require more than one man in any case. Adding another young tight end who can move the chains and block is a must.
Potential targets: Austin Hooper, Hunter Henry, Eric Ebron
