Top three needs:Edge, WR, DT. Carolina addedPat Jones IIin free agency for depth behind edge rushersJadeveon Clowney and D.J. Wonnum, but he's still a situational player. Clowney is 32, and Wonnum is still in prove-it mode. So adding a young, dynamic edge rusher for the long term is a priority. That's what makes Georgia's Jalon Walker intriguing.

QuarterbackBryce Young still needs a dynamic receiver opposite 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette. Then it's back to defense, where Carolina settled on defensive tackleTershawn Wharton-- who is also still in prove-it mode -- after losing out on Milton Williams.-- David Newton
