Continuing on the edge rush theme, Moy turned his attention to Carolina's fourth-round selection, Christian Miller from Alabama.
"Carolina ranked 25th as a team last season with a pressure rate of just 19.7% generated from their edge defenders. Spending a first-round pick on a stud like Burns and a fourth-round pick on an upside player like Miller at such a critical area of the field made complete sense for the Panthers," Moy wrote.
As for offensive tackle Greg Little, the second-round pick from Ole Miss, PFF gave him high marks.
"Over the past two seasons, Little allowed just 27 total pressures across 993 pass-blocking snaps, and over that stretch, he led all draft-eligible SEC tackles with an 87.4 pass-blocking grade," Moy wrote.
PFF is also very intrigued by what quarterback Will Grier can bring to the table. The third-round pick from West Virginia was ranked 24th on their big board.
"Grier finished 2018 as our second-highest graded draft-eligible FBS quarterback with a 91.1 overall grade, and he tied with former Missouri quarterback Drew Lock with an NCAA-leading 33 big-time throws. Grier is loaded with upside as a developmental backup for Cam Newton."
