Panthers push their rebuild by drafting new weapons for Bryce Young

How do you improve the worst team in the NFL? Carolina continued its aggressive rebuild, starting with first-round pick Xavier Legette.

New Panthers general manager Dan Morgan is careful not to directly compare his current roster to the one that went 2-15 last year, but there's no disrespect in acknowledging how much Carolina has reshaped its lineup in the past two months. After this weekend's draft, even without the benefit of the No. 1 overall pick, the Panthers will have newcomers accounting for at least half their starting jobs — conservatively five on offense and six on defense, with a real chance for more.

Carolina used four of its last five draft picks on defense, and the prospect with the best shot at starting is Kentucky linebacker Trevin Wallace, a third-round pick who should challenge veteran Shaq Thompson as he returns from a season-ending ankle injury. Wallace, 21, had one of the fastest 40 times of any linebacker in the draft at 4.51 seconds with a 37-inch vertical as well.
