CHARLOTTE Youth Sam Mills Jersey , N.C. (AP)ttention to the secondary on the second day of the NFL draft – and added an extra draft pick along the way.The Panthers selected cornerback Donte Jackson from LSU in the second round and safety Rashaan Gaulden from Tennessee in the third round Friday night, one day after taking wide receiver D.J. Moore from Maryland with the 24th overall pick in round one.”That is an area we wanted to upgrade,” Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said of the defensive backfield.Carolina, coming off an 11-5 season, also wanted to get faster on defense – and it did.The 5-foot-11, 178-pound Jackson possesses high-end speed, clocked at 4.31 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combines. That tied him for the fastest 40-time among rookie cornerbacks.”With Jackson, that is adding about as much speed as you can,” Hurney said.Coach Ron Rivera said the addition of Jackson and Gaulden gives them some swagger back in the secondary that they had been missing after the departure of All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman. Carolina’s starting cornerbacks didn’t have any interceptions through the first 14 games last season.He feels like Jackson and Gaulden both have a big chip on their shoulder.”My expectation is to be a starter from day one Stitched Sam Mills Jersey ,” Jackson said. ”I am going to be more than ready and I anticipate being a starter.”Jackson could have a chance to start opposite James Bradberry as a rookie.The Panthers traded last year’s starter Daryl Worley to the Philadelphia, although the Eagles later waived him following an off-the-field incident. Carolina added Ross Cockrell in free agency and Kevon Seymour made some plays at cornerback last season.Jackson played in all 12 games last season for the Tigers and was a second-team all-SEC selection in 2017. He started 12 of 13 games and had 49 tackles, an interception and 10 pass breakups.Jackson said not being selected in the first round – he was taken with the 55th selection overall – has left him with a chip on his shoulder ”the size of this hotel that I am staying in right now.””Seeing all of those guys picked before me when I was thought to be a first-round draft pick, that chip grew with every pick that I didn’t see my name called,” said Jackson, who was a member of LSU’s SEC Championship 4×100-relay track team last year.Hurney said Jackson has outstanding ball skills, and the reason he likely fell to No. 55 overall was because of his lack of size.Rivera said while Bradberry will cover the opposition’s bigger receivers, Jackson can handle the smaller, faster ones.”We feel like he can play outside corner and nickel Youth Greg Olsen Jersey ,” Hurney said.The Panthers view the 6-foot-3, 193 Gaulden as a safety, although he has played some cornerback and nickel back for the Vols.Rivera likes that Gaulden has good speed for his size and feels he can cover tight ends.”I can play anything in the defensive backfield,” Gaulden said. ”It’s just the confidence that I have had and through the coaches who trained me to be able to play any position in the back end. But I can play safety at a very high level and that is what the Panthers see me as.”Gaulden had only one interception during three seasons for the Vols, but had three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries last season.”I try to get to the ball however I can,” Gaulden said.Carolina traded its other third-round pick, No. 88 overall, to Green Bay in exchange for the Packers‘ fourth- and fifth-round picks. The Panthers now have six picks on Saturday, including the first pick of the day Blue Devin Funchess Jersey , the 101st overall.Hurney said that having the first pick in the third day of the draft is a ”valuable spot.”— The Panthers have traded the No. 187 overall pick to Denver."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Keep Sounding PodcastPanthers 2019 NFL DraftCSR Film RoomPanthers 2019 NFL DraftCarolina Panthers trade the No. 187 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft to the Denver BroncosNew,22commentsThe Panthers have traded the No. 187 overall pick to Denver.EDTShareTweetShareShareCarolina Panthers trade the No. 187 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft to the Denver BroncosJeremy Brevard-USA TODAY SportsThe Carolina Panthers have traded the No. 187 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft to the Denver Broncos in exchange for the Nos. 212 and 237 picks. Pick No. 212 is in the sixth round, while Pick No. 237 is in the seventh (and final) round of the draft.This trade gives the Panthers an extra pick they didn’t have to start the day. Prior to this trade, the No. 187 pick would have been Carolina’s last pick of the draft. Now they have an extra lottery ticket in case they see another player they’d like to make a ‘priority UDFA’ instead of risking the chance that said undrafted player chooses another team.We don’t know who Hurney has in mind for either of these picks, but trading down to acquire more players is probably a decent strategy. Stay tuned as we’ll provide all the details on the final two picks whenever they are announced.
