We’re the first winner mentioned:

”Winner: Panthers 

After inheriting a team that finished 31st in the league in scoring defense in 2019, new Panthers head coach Matt Rhule is taking drastic steps towards improving Carolina's defense in 2020. With the 38th pick, Carolina was able to select Penn State's Yetur Gross-Matos, a Day 1 talent and one of the top EDGE rushers in the draft. While he may not do anything at an elite level, Gross-Matos did play at a very high level at Happy Valley. An athletic player with an equally impressive football IQ, Gross-Matos recorded 17 sacks and 34.5 tackles for loss during his final two seasons at Penn State. 

Carolina then traded up to the 64th pick to acquire Jeremy Chinn, one of the top safeties in this year's draft. The 2019 Buck Buchanan Award recipient (which goes to best defensive player in the FCS), Chinn is a versatile player who should make an immediate impact on Carolina's re-vamped defense in 2020.”

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
