5-11, 3rd NFC South
Final
Carolina made a change at quarterback for the next few seasons bringing in Teddy Bridgewater to be the starting quarterback. He will have an excellent receiving core to throw to with D.J. Moore, Robby Anderson, and Curtis Samuel. Anderson is the new name added to the depth chart for Carolina. This gives them another deep threat, but also crowds things up a bit for

The Panthers have loaded up on the offensive side with plenty of young talent, and Christian McCaffrey is the more notable name here. However, Carolina's receiving core got a bit deeper this offseason as they brought in Robby Anderson to accompany Curtis Samuel and DJ Moore. With Greg Olsen in Seattle, Ian Thomas has been waiting for a starting role, which will happen this season. Defensively this team needed a lot of work, and the draft was where they hammered defensive picks. While it likely won't show this season, there is plenty of upside for the next few years.
Jeremy Chinn and Derrick Brown were both highly touted defensive picks for Carolina during the recent NFL Draft. The Panthers were in need of defensive help, and they will rely on a few young names to push them in the right direction early.
Ian Thomas has been waiting for Greg Olsen to move teams or retire, and he finally will jump to a starting role on the depth chart. Thomas is one of the stronger young tight ends in the game and has a bright future in the league.
DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Robby Anderson are the Carolina Panthers starting wide receivers. Anderson is the oldest of the three at 27, and this is a young receiving core that has produced strong numbers over the last few seasons.
With Eric Reid leaving the Panthers this offseason, it led them to draft Jeremy Chinn to fill right in. He was taken 64th overall and is physical safety, which led him to be compared to Reid on draft night.
There will be many shootout games with Carolina this season as their cornerback situation is rather weak. They do not have a lot of experience, and James Bradberry walked away this off-season, leaving them in dire need of a top corner.
Teddy Bridgewater has been an on and off again starter in his career, but his move to Carolina will make him the full-time starter. He has been backing up Drew Brees and failed to get back to being a starter after the injury in Minnesota.
