Jan 5, 2025; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (9) celebrates after a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in the fourth quarter at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images Panthers general manager Dan Morgan would do backflips for a shot at drafting Penn State edge Abdul Carter, but to hear him tell it this week, Carolina is out of the business of trading up for talent.
Morgan’s most pressing roster weakness is the pass rush, but with Derrick Brown returning from a season-ending injury and reinforcements added in free agency — Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown III — Carolina can attack the outside linebacker and defensive end spots.
With Carter expected to be off the board in the top three, the Panthers can gear up for one of Georgia’s edge players or take a look at the best offensive playmakers available.
Depending on how the board falls in front of Morgan, he’s publicly declared the No. 8 pick is available for the right price.
Should Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty or one of the prospects the Panthers rate 1-5 on their board make it through the first seven picks without hearing their name called, Carolina can’t risk the missed opportunity of a blue-chip player.
–Team needs
Edge: Signing Pat Jones (Vikings) in free agency only slightly diminishes Carolina’s desperation at the position. Jadeveon Clowney, 32, has reached the stage in his career where he would be best in a rotation. Georgia’s Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker are priority prospects who’ve had visits with the Panthers. Williams is 20 pounds shy of Julius Peppers but the 20-year-old is still imposing at 6-5, 260 and only beginning to realize his immense potential.
Wide receiver: We aren’t connecting the dots on Morgan’s assertion the Panthers are good to go at wideout given Adam Thielen’s age (34) and injury history and Xavier Legette still has a lot to prove. From past coaching stints with the Seahawks and Buccaneers, Panthers head coach Dave Canales grasps the benefits of surrounding a quarterback with three or more talented pass catchers.
–Best prospect fits
OLB Mykel Williams, Georgia
OLB Jalon Walker, Georgia
TE Tyler Warren, Penn State
OLB James Pearce, Tennessee
OLB Mike Green, Marshall
OLB Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College
OLB Nic Scourton, Texas A&M
WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona
WR Matthew Golden, Texas
WR Tre Harris, Ole Miss

Shedeur Sanders draft slide ends: Browns pick Colorado QB in Round 5 of NFL Draft after trading up
Getty Images The wait is finally over for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, as the Browns selected him with the No. 144 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders, the son of Pro Football Hall-of-Famer and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, was widely expected to be a first- or second-round pick but instead fell all the way to the fifth round and was selected behind five other quarterbacks. The Browns gave up picks 166 and 192 to trade up 22 spots with the Seattle Seahawks for the right to select Sanders. Sanders now presumably gets a chance to develop and compete in a quarterback room that includes the injured Deshaun Watson, Kenny Pickett (acquired via trade), Joe Flacco (signed in April) and Dillon Gabriel (third-round pick). It's a far cry from where Sanders likely expected to be coming into this weekend, but he's still getting his NFL […]
2025 NFL Draft: Here’s how much money Shedeur Sanders missed out on by not being drafted in first four rounds
Getty Images The story of the 2025 NFL Draft has to do with a player who was actually selected in the fifth round at No. 144 overall. Former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, was expected to be a first-round pick, but instead went unselected in the first four rounds of the draft before finally being scooped by the Cleveland Browns early in the fifth.The Pittsburgh Steelers passed on him multiple times, while the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks and even the Browns all selected different quarterbacks before Sanders. Every player will be given the opportunity to compete whether they are a first-round pick or fifth-round pick, but their paychecks will be very different. For example, No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward is expected […]
