2. Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers are playoff-bound, but that doesn’t mean they’re ready to seriously compete for a Super Bowl. At 8-9, the Panthers are one of the worst playoff teams in recent memory, and they must bolster their roster if they want to repeat as NFC South champions next year. Bryce Young will have at least one more year under center, and Kyle Pitts can help this offense reach new heights.
Seeing as they share a division with him, the Panthers should know what Pitts brings to the table and how they can best use his skills in the offense. Carolina has two legitimate weapons in first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan and former undrafted free agent Jalen Coker, but they could use an upgrade at tight end.
