The Carolina Panthers may have lucked out.
After it looked like Bryce Young might be a total bust, the former No. 1 overall pick played well down the stretch of the 2024 season. There might be hope with Young yet.
To maximize that, though, the Panthers shouldn't sit still. They should continue adding talent around Young on the offense.
Bleacher Report's Matt Holder specifically wants Carolina to go after another tight end.
"The Panthers' current tight ends leave something to be desired," Young writes. "While the hope is Ja'Tavion Sanders grows in year two, he wasn't the same after suffering a neck injury last season, catching just four passes for 40 yards in five games after getting hurt. So, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add someone to the position group as an insurance policy at the least."

Carolina has done a good job of putting together a WR room with some depth. But Holder is right that the tight end spot could use some help.
Even if it's just a free agent veteran like a Hayden Hurst to provide a steady presence, Carolina could certainly benefit from another talented body in that room.
Young's development could be counting on every little move adding up in the right way.
