          The Carolina Panthers have the 28th pick of the May 8-10 NFL draft after finishing last season with a 12-4 record. General manager Dave Gettleman remains adamant he will take the best player available even though offensive tackle and wide receiver are huge needs.

          The latest first-round picks by ESPN analyst Todd McShay are out on InsiderInsider. You probably won't be surprised by his pick for Carolina, but you will be surprised by mine.
