Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry should definitely be on the Carolina Panthers’ radar in the first round of the upcoming NFL Draft.

Although the defending NFC champions have the 30th pick overall, prognosticators are saying that Henry, one of the Alabama Crimson Tide’s finest running backs, will likely go in the second round.

It’s pretty ridiculous to me that Henry isn’t being considered the draft’s No. 1 pick, but I guess winning the Heisman Trophy and a national championship doesn’t mean much anymore.

If I was running the show for Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, I would have no problem at all offering up linebacker Luke Kuechly in order to draft Henry.
