Hey Rooks , Ready For A 3 Day Weekend ? / Second Day Of The Draft

Created by OnePlusYou

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Panthers appeared to be following their draft board on Sunday, addressing needs at defensive tackle and creating competition at fullback, but also taking a running back, a position where Carolina is well stocked.

The Panthers began the draft's second day by selecting defensive tackle Corvey Irvin of Georgia in the third round. The Panthers then ignored their depth at running back and took Mike Goodson of Texas A&M.

The Panthers used their second fourth-round pick on fullback Tony Fiammetta of Syracuse, perhaps giving veteran Brad Hoover competition in training camp.

Carolina finally addressed its lack of depth on the offensive line in the fifth round by taking Duke Robinson of Oklahoma. At 6-foot-5 and 329 pounds, Robinson played both guard and tackle in college.

The Panthers were to wrap up the draft with one selection in the sixth round.
