Over the next several weeks I will be profiling NFL draft prospects I feel would be a good fit for the Panthers. Up first... Tyler Lockett School: Kansas State Size: 5'11 - 175lbs Position: WR/KR/PR Round Projection: 3 - 5 Tyler Lockett is as close as it comes to being a no brainer for the Panthers if he is available in the mid rounds. Locket is a speedy slot receiver and an accomplished kick and punt returner. In 2014, he averaged 20.1 yards per kick return and 19.1 yards per punt return.
