The defending NFC champion Carolina Panthers will enter the 2016 NFL season as one of the favorites to win Super Bowl LI. In order to prevent falling short again, general manager Dave Gettleman needs to address these five positions this offseason.

Kelvin Benjamin will be back from a torn ACL and Devin Funchess could be ready to take the other starting receiver job. But there's so much talent at the position in this draft that adding an improvement over Ted Ginn or Corey Brown seems beneficial.
4. Defensive End

Kony Ealy has done enough to earn himself one starting defensive end position next season, but the other is up in the air. Jared Allen is contemplating retirement and Charles Johnson is a candidate to be a cap casualty.
3. Safety

After two years with the team, Roman Harper's contract expires which opens a spot at strong safety. Whether it's through the draft or free agency, the Panthers need an upgrade to pair with Kurt Coleman in the defensive backfield.
2. Cornerback

In all likelihood, star corner Josh Norman will receive the franchise tag, but the other starting corner position will be wide open as it's unlikely Charles Tillman will return. Adding a starting-caliber corner in the draft needs to happen.
1. Right Tackle

Mike Remmers finished the 2014 season strong which earned him the starting job in 2015. After starting this past season pretty solidly, he struggled down the stretch and was severely exposed by Von Miller in the Super Bowl.
