Securing Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen through the 2020 season with a two-year extension does not mean the Panthers won't take a tight end with the 24th pick in tonight's NFL draft. As I was told by a source, "nothing is off the table.'' The Panthers still need a backup tight end that can catch as insurance in case Olsen gets hurt as he did last year They run a lot of two tight-end sets as well.
