FOX 2 - The Michigan Panthers started the inaugural draft by making a splash with former University of Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson with the no. 1 overall pick.
But Patterson wasn't the only local name to call the Panthers home - two more local products also were picked with linebacker Taiwan Jones - a former Michigan State University standout and Anchor Bay High School product, and former All-MAC linebacker Terry Myrick from Eastern Michigan.
The Panthers closed out the first night of the draft with a big name, landing former NFL first-round pick Paxton Lynch in the last round, designated for teams picking second quarterbacks.
On day two, the Panthers finished out the roster with a Big 10 flavor at running back, picking former Stevie Scott (Indiana) and Reggie Corbin (Illinois).

The Panthers, led by Coach Jeff Fisher, also added some receiver targets for Patterson and Lynch, including Quincy Adeboyejo of Ole Miss and Jeff Badet, formerly of Oklahoma and the XFL.
