NBC Charlotte Sports Director Nick Carboni spent some time with Panthers.com writer Bill Voth, asking him who he thinks the Panthers may consider with their pick Thursday night. Spoiler alert: Bill doesn't know! But he did predict the Panthers would make at least one trade during the draft...

A 27-year-old mom has died of a rodent-borne disease called hantavirus, about three months after she first showed symptoms.
Doctors at first thought that Kiley Lane of Aztec, N.M., had the flu, said Lane's mother, Julie Barron of Lubbock, Texas. Lane went Jan. 13 to San Juan Regional Medical Center for a diagnosis and was released the same day.
