Nerdy Football Analysis: Carolina is searching for offensive weapons after losing WR D.J. Moore in a trade with the Bears for the No.1 overall pick in the upcoming draft. Hurst should slide right into a starting role and be a mid-range TE2 even if Carolina picks up a tight end in the draft. Tommy Tremble and Ian Thomas are still on the roster.
