A couple weeks go, we looked at the early trends with the players that the Carolina Panthers had been visiting with in preparation for the 2025 NFL Draft. Since then, the Panthers have used most of the 30 pre-draft prospect visits that every team is allotted.
Recent precedents for a potential Panthers draft night trade

If you're a fan of the Carolina Panthers and a user of the Internet, chances are you've voiced a preference for the Panthers to trade down and acquire more draft capital.

Predicting the Panthers 2025 win total

2 weeks ago | catscratchreader.com | Walker Clement

With the 2025 NFL season fast approaching, let's take a quick look ahead at how we think the Carolina Panthers will fare overall. Despite their second consecutive 1-7 start to a season in 2024, the team rallied impressively to put together a 5-12 season. That is a remarkable improvement over their 2-15 record from 2023. A poor understanding of statistics would suggest anywhere between a 8-9 season and a 12-4-1 season in 2025.

We've done this exercise a couple of times now, and we'll probably get one more in the week or so leading up to the draft after teams have completed their meetings with prospects and reporters hear scuttlebutt about what teams are trying to do. All of the significant pro days wrapped up last week, which has people rethinking some of their rankings and adjusting their draft boards. We have some different picks for the Panthers than we did last time, so let's dive right in.
Cat Scratch Reader selected Jihaad Campbell with the No. 8 pick in the 2025 SB Nation Community Mock Draft

2 weeks ago | catscratchreader.com | Walker Clement

The board did not fall perfectly for the Panthers in this mock draft, with Mason Graham being taken early as the biggest blow, and no trade partner materialized to allow them to move back. There were, however, a lot of talented players available. Tight end Tyler Warren, wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, and running back Ashton Jeanty were all available. So, too, were popular Georgia defenders like safety Malaki Starks, edge Mykel Williams, and linebacker Jalon Walker.
