Final Thoughts on How the Carolina Panthers Should Approach the 2025 NFL Draft
24/04/2025 Duration: 36minDraft Day has finally arrived, and the Carolina Panthers will be on the clock Thursday night with the eighth overall pick in the draft. But will Carolina remain at eight to make a selection, or will the organization find a trade partner? Recent intel from NFL insiders suggests that teams are looking to trade as high as No. 2 and No. 3 overall to draft Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty. If Jeanty falls past the top 7, could that allow Carolina to move down the draft board to collect more assets for this draft and the future? The Jacksonville Jaguars are another team to watch in the Panthers' pursuit of a trade partner, as recent mock drafts have linked the Jags to Jeanty.While EDGE rusher has been the prevailing thought for the position, the Panthers will address it with the No. 8 pick. Is that a slam dunk?
