Panthers trade up to add Daeshon Hall to D-line

The Carolina Panthers have selected defensive end Daeshon Hall out of Texas A&M after trading up in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

The Panthers sent the Arizona Cardinals the 98th overall and 115th overall picks to move up to No. 77 and select Hall.

He'll fortify a Panthers edge-rushing group that is a clear weakness on the team.
