2019 NFL Draft: Panthers Select Greg Little With the No. 37 Pick

The Carolina Panthers made sure to address their biggest positions of need in the 2019 NFL Draft. They began with drafting defensive end Brian Burns with the No. 16 pick.

Carolina traded up to the No. 37 slot in order to draft an offensive tackle from Ole Miss in Greg Little. The Panthers traded the Seattle Seahawks their No. 47 pick, along with their No. 77 pick. Little is a 6-foot-5, 310 pound offensive tackle that will be NFL ready.

Little started every game for the past two seasons at left tackle and went to Ole Miss as the No. 1 offensive tackle recruit. The Panthers seem ready to give Little a shot at starting right away, according to the team's general manager Marty Hurney.

It is very likely that the starting offensive line will consist of Little, Daryl Williams, Matthew Paradis, Trai Turner and Taylor Moton. This will be a huge improvement from last season -- when Cam Newton had to avoid pass rusher as first priority.

The Panthers have the No. 100 overall pick, leaving them with only two picks on the second day of the draft.
