Carolina Panthers
Miller's pick prediction: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
Tight end and safety were the two positions that came up most when polling league sources about the Panthers. This spot is seen as Thieneman's potential floor but also serves as a popular landing spot for the speedy Sadiq. Though Carolina keeps its workouts quiet, especially when it comes to Round 1 targets, Sadiq fits what it lacks at tight end. One source within the organization wouldn't rule out wide receiver but noted that the Panthers probably wouldn't reach for Denzel Boston (Washington) or KC Concepcion (Texas A&M).
