NFL Mock Draft 2014: Picks 17-32

Nov 16, 2013; Arlington, TX, USA; Texas Tech Red Raiders tight end Jace Amaro (22) cannot catch a pass while defended by Baylor Bears safety Terrell Burt (13) and defensive back Sam Holl (25) in the second quarter at AT

28. Carolina Panthers
Jace Amaro
TE, Texas Tech

The Panthers are likely to trade down if the draft works out as I’ve predicted.  If they do decide to use the pick. offense is where they should concentrate their efforts.  Amaro can’t help replace the declining Steve Smith, but he can give Cam a two TE type of offense with Amaro and Greg Olsen on opposite sides.  A two TE set might also give Cam more running room and that isn’t a bad thing at all when you don’t have any receivers to really throw to anyway.
