The panthers to everyone's surprise took what many think was the best offensive lineman in the draft in Ickey Ekwonu.  He was listed early on as a lock to be the overall number 1 pick.

The team traded into the third round on Friday night to select Matt Corral, who played collegiately at Ole Miss.

Corral came into the draft as one of the top quarterback prospects, but was available when it came time to make the 94th overall pick.

He will join Sam Darnold and P.J. Walker as the only quarterbacks currently on Carolina’s roster.

In two years as the Rebels’ full-time starting quarterback, Corral passed for more than 6,500 yards and 49 touchdowns.

He also added over 900 rushing yards during the two seasons with 15 touchdowns.
