The Carolina Panthers may finally be turning the corner after six and a half seasons of futility. While they lost by a last-second field goal to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, they won their previous two games and they're playing better (at least on one side of the ball) than they have in a long, long time. Promising as it looks, there's still a lot of work to be done to reshape this roster. That's why we went full Maximum Effort in our first seven-round mock draft of the year for Carolina. Our strategy was simple: trade down in Round 1 and then fill as many roster holes as possible. Here's how it went down.
