KYLE

FRIEND

Kyle Friend, our 112nd ranked tackle, is best suited to be a primary backup. We project he will end up with the Carolina Panthers because they could use a player of this quality to play tackle. The Panthers currently have 5 healthy tackles, and 2 are rated better than Friend: (Taylor Moton and Ikem Ekwonu).

The Panthers currently have no tackles under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Friend may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
