Following the completion of the 2021 NFL Draft, where does the Carolina Panthers organization seem to be headed. Have Scott Fitterer and Matt Rhule laid a foundation in place that could finally elevate the organization to the twenty years of sustained success that owner David Tepper promised shortly after firing former head coach Ron Rivera?

The Panthers select 11 players in the 2021 NFL Draft meaning there are a few players who should be worried about losing their jobs ahead of the 2021 season. Who should be on the lookout?

We begin our position by position group breakdowns starting with the quarterbacks. Does a quote from Matt Rhule reveal that the Panthers aren't that confident in Sam Darnold? Who among the backups can be trusted to start if Darnold continues his trend of missing a few games per year?

The Carolina Panthers finally made the trade that everyone was waiting for sending quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to the Denver Broncos a year after signing him to a 3-year, $63 million deal. The Panthers also received a sixth-round pick in compensation while having to pay $7 million of Bridgewater's reduced $11.5 million salary in 2021. How much blame should be placed on Matt Rhule, Joe Brady and the Panthers brass for signing Bridgewater when they could've started a younger quarterback and potentially played their way into the Top 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft?

Last-minute mailbag questions before the first round of the NFL Draft.

Plus, a final plea for the Panthers to take a left tackle at 8 if Penei Sewell or Rashawn Slater are on the board.

There are Panthers fans who hope that the franchise will use the No. 8 pick to select Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields. If that does happen and Sam Darnold excels in 2021 as the team's starter where would that leave the organization? Sticking with Darnold or moving on to Fields as the quarterback of the future?

ESPN's Diana Russini reported that the New England Patriots could include All-Pro cornerback and Rock Hill native Stephon Gilmore in a package to trade up into the top 10 for a quarterback. Is that a deal that Carolina should be interested in? How would Gilmore factor into the team in 2021 and beyond?

NBC Sports Chris Simms is never afraid to be different. Simms outlined a unique mock draft scenario that had the Panthers trading back to 19th with former head coach Ron Rivera and the Washington Football Team moving up to acquire at quarterback at 8. Would this fly with David Tepper? What would be the risk?

On Friday, Matt Rhule and Scott Fitterer addressed the media one more time prior to Thursday night's first round. Thoughts on the team's vision, the ongoing discussion of potentially taking a quarterback at 8, and potentially trading back.

The Kansas City Cheifs made a major trade on Friday afternoon, trading for Baltimore Ravens tackle Orlando Brown Jr. The Cheifs cited that the concern of the quality of tackles in the latter part of the first round.
