Panthers Trade Up for Greg Little in Second Round

The Carolina Panthers have traded up in the second round to select Mississippi Offensive Lineman Greg Little.

Ron Rivera repeating that LT will still be a competition. Realistically, though, Little should start at LT. Hear that staff is impressed with potential of Moton at LG, while Williams is most comfortable at RT.

After selecting edge defender Brian Burns in the first round, the Panthers turned to the offensive line in an attempt to protect franchise quarterback Cam Newton.

Carolina traded the 47th pick in combination with the 77th overall pick to the Seattle Seahawks for the 5th selection in the second round (36th overall).

Little: "I think Cam is going to be happy, I think Cam is going to be safe."

Greg Little started the 2018 season as a consensus top-10 pick and has the athleticism to start at day one for the Carolina Panthers. This move likely pushes either Taylor Moton or Daryl Williams to the left guard position.
