The source drafted Jonathan Brooks in round seven based on ESPN beat writer reporting that the Panthers want Brooks to be the lead back and that he's fully healthy, with expectations he'd overtake Chuba Hubbard by midseason. However, Brooks suffered an injury in August, which the source now views as a cautionary lesson on injury optimism. The source recommends cutting Jonathan Brooks if roster space is needed, indicating the pick did not work out and the player should be dropped.

Brooks is coming off the IR and the source views him as a high-upside handcuff to Chuba Hubbard moving forward. While the source acknowledges taking preseason losses on Brooks versus Hubbard, Brooks offers upside as a pass-catcher. Carolina's offensive line injuries (Taylor Moton broke his fibula; Monroe Freeling, a first-round pick, will start) may force the team to pass more, potentially opening a window for Brooks to ramp up his pass-catching role when he returns.
