It seems as though we officially have our clubhouse leader for the Carolina Panthers’ sixth overall pick . . . at least here on Jan. 24.
For the third time in the past week, a major publication has sent Mississippi State University’s Charles Cross to the Panthers in their most recent mock draft. First it was ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. and The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, and now it’s Pro Football Focus’ Trevor Sikkema.
“It has got to be an offensive line selection for the Carolina Panthers — it just has to be,” Sikkema writes. “They’ll likely try to add some veteran talent at interior offensive line during free agency, but left tackle Cam Erving (56.0 PFF grade in 2021) and left guard Pat Elflien (50.1) can’t be counted on again.”
