Social media had some pretty good things to say about the Panthers moves on Friday night, drafting defensive Yetur Gross-Matos out of Penn State and then trading up to pick safety Jeremy Chinn out of Southern Illinois.

Uh, Panthers quietly ringing up a nice draft already. DT Derrick Brown and DE Yetur Gross-Métos. Matt Rhule told me last night they want to be strong up front and build the D from there. Off to a good start

At one, he lost his father.

At eleven, he lost his brother.
Everything that Yetur Gross-Matos has done since is to make them proud. (@__lobo99)

#Panthers fans can get excited, Yetur Gross-Matos may be most versatile DL in the entire draft!

The Panthers defensive front adding Yetur Gross-Matos is downright gross. You've already got Derrick Brown and Brian Burns, and now you add YGM?

It's a good thing Tom Brady gets the ball out in 2 seconds, because he won't have much more than that to work with.

Jeremy Chinn can play in the box, slot and deep.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) April 25, 2020
Derrick Brown and Yetur Gross-Matos can play multiple positions on the line.
Position flexibility.
Jeremy Chinn is one of the freakish prospects in the Draft, 6'3, 221 pounds, 4.45 40 time with 20 bench reps and 41 vertical. #Panthers went Safety
— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) April 25, 2020
For the @Panthers fans who were mad that the team bypassed Simmons at No.7, Rhule opted for another hybrid with similar skills, Chinn is built like a LB but is a SS with CB skills. He’s an intriguing weapon as a 2nd level defender #NFLDraft
