## Resource

ESPN’s latest trade value rankings spotlight four Panthers as worth a first-round pick: defensive tackle Derrick Brown, who led a defensive resurgence after missing last season; rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan, who dazzled with over 1,000 yards and Rookie of the Year honors; cornerback Jaycee Horn, a top cover guy with durability concerns; and OT Monroe Freeling, the team’s latest first-rounder. Meanwhile, edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and QB Bryce Young are still seen as question marks, with their upcoming seasons pivotal to the team’s future. The Panthers are clearly building a foundation for sustained competitiveness. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
