To be in the shoes of Dave Gettleman on draft day must feel somewhat like a kid in a candy store, especially this year since he's been awarded two extra compensatory selections. But this is no ordinary candy store. You won't find an unlimited supply of goodies here. Rather there are only so many of each kind and there are other shoppers ready to take the best treats available before you can get your hands on them. Nevertheless, If the recent past is any indicator, then the Carolina Panthers 2015 NFL Draft should work out just fine because Gettleman sure does appear to know his way around the candy shop.

Round 1 (25) - OT La'el Collins

Some experts say Collins will be selected somewhere in the top half of the draft, while others have elected to place him in the bottom half. Here's to hoping he is available at 25. Could he dominate as a guard. Probably, and perhaps that is going to be his best position at the next level. However, I'd stick him on the right side, where he would dominate as a run blocker from day one. Pass protection needs some work, but I think he can work those issues out.

Round 2 (57) - OT Cedric Ogbuehi

Double dip baby. Had it not been for an untimely ACL tear, the Panthers wouldn't even have a chance to select Ogbuehi here in the second, let alone the first. If that knee gets back to 100% and stays that way, then we've got our left tackle of the future.

Round 3 (89) - DE Za'Darius Smith

I think Smith earns some rotational snaps before seasons end as the Panthers can afford to bring him on slowly in much the same way they did with last year's second rounder, Kony Ealy.

Round 4 (124) - WR Kenny Bell

Skilled blocker? Check. Superb speed? Check. Awesome acceleration? Check. High football IQ? Check. Makes tough catches in traffic? Check. Super steal in the fourth round? Check.

Round 5 (161) - G/C Shaquille Mason

Savage run blocker and potential Ryan Kalil replacement.

Round 5 (*169*) - RB Malcom Brown

Brown didn't have the illustrious college career that you might expect from a former five star high school recruit, but he has more than enough talent overcome that stigma and make some noise in the right system in the NFL.

Round 5 (*174*) - OLB Jake Ryan

Solid under the radar pick.

Round 6 (201) - CB Nick Marshall

Position switches aren't easy to accomplish, but Marshall showed enough promise to warrant a late sixth round selection.

Round 7 (242) - TE Rory Anderson

If not for his injury history with his triceps, Anderson would be valued much higher. Anderson could one day be the Panthers number one tight end if he can stay healthy.
