With the 19th pick, Florida Gators cornerback Jalen Tabor is certainly worth the look.

Last week, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees passed for 465 passing yards and four touchdowns in a 41-38 loss. In Week 4, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones caught 12 passes for a team-record 300 receiving yards.

The Carolina Panthers defense really misses the presence of current Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman. Their pass defense allows 282 yards per game, 25th in the NFL, and 29.3 points per game, 30th in the NFL.

With Jalen Tabor at cornerback, the Panthers get a cover corner with 23 career pass breakups, 79 career tackles, and seven career interceptions. Tabor also has three career interception returns for touchdowns, including one in last week’s win over Missouri.
