The Carolina Panthers only had a limited amount of picks to begin with, meaning that each of their five players had to be made-to-measure, inch-perfect. Unfortunately for them, while their choices have sparks of potential, there are question marks over several of their heads, and as far as the Panthers' team goes, they neglected to address one of their biggest needs. OLB Shaq Thompson and WR Devin Funchess are a pair of highly questionable selections. Thompson is highly versatile, but that may prove to be his downfall. He's played at virtually every position on the field at one time or another, but in the NFL, speciality is needed to really succeed. You can only play one position each snap, so mediocrity doesn't last long. Funchess could also suffer from a similar problem, as he could be converted from a wide receiver into a tight end. His physical stature is obvious, but he's earned a 'lazy' tag from some experts who have questioned his speed and consistency with his hands after dropping more than 20 passes throughout college. Now you've seen the losers, take a look at some of the big winners from the 2015 NFL Draft, though every ranking could change when the season eventually gets underway in September.
