The Carolina Panthers Have Much Work To Do This Draft If They Want To Keep Pounding

The NFL draft this year begins on April 25th and ends April 27th. The Carolina Panthers are my favorite football team. The Panthers have the 16th pick this year. Instead of making a prediction on who will be selected, I want to point out the areas of need I believe this team should address. This is in no particular order of need, just positions that I believe should be targeted.

Defensive End- The Carolina Panthers lost a future Hall-of-Famer in Julius Peppers last season. He retired with the team that drafted him. This leaves the Panthers with a need to find a pass rusher. The Panthers have always been known to have a good defense. The defensive line has always been a strength for this team. The division that the Panthers play have elite quarterbacks. Finding a player who can wreak havoc and get to opposing quarterback should be a priority.

Safety- The Carolina Panthers re-signed Eric Reid this offseason. The Panthers still need another safety to pair with Reid. The Panthers have James Bradberry and Donte Jackson at cornerback. If the Panthers can find another safety that can come in and play immediately, the back end of the defense will be complete for years to come.

Offensive Tackle- One of the best ways to help your quarterback is to make sure he is healthy. This is possible if you have a good offensive line that protects your quarterback. Cam Newton, the quarterback, is a mobile quarterback who has had injuries in the past. Keeping him healthy could make sure he has a great season which helps the team perform even better.

Wide Receiver- This is for the idea that a team could never have too many weapons. The Panthers did draft D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel last year, as well as signed Chris Hogan this offseason. Having one more weapon can make the offense even more dangerous and hard to stop.

The Panthers have had recent success in the draft. I believe they will make the right decision. These are my thoughts on what they should do. All we can do now is wait until the Panthers are on the clock...

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
