In some way, shape, or form, it felt like the Carolina Panthers were dead set on taking a defensive player with the eighth overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. At least that’s what we all anticipated. Instead, they opted to go with Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan to help shore up the wide receiving corps.

Since trading DJ Moore a couple of offseasons ago, the Carolina Panthers have struggled to find a true No. 1 receiver. Adam Thielen has been great, but he's not getting any younger, and he's even admitted that his career is winding down.

Fifth-round draft picks are typically afterthoughts from the moment they are picked to the start of their rookie year. Fans and analysts spend more time on the guys who heard their name called on day one and two, and rightfully so.

And sometimes those who are selected later in the draft can end up being some of the best players on your team.

Stone, however, did not appear in a single regular-season game for the Mountaineers, nursing an undisclosed injury.
