The Carolina Panthers showed promise in their 5-12 campaign of 2024. Head coach Dave Canales, quarterback Bryce Young and company helped create a three-win improvement. Carolina now has the 2025 NFL Draft to turn to. The franchise has historically found their biggest franchise stars via the draft. Young and Cam Newton are past top overall draft picks. Even Julius Peppers, Steve Smith Sr., Muhsin Muhammad, DeAngelo Williams, etc. were draft finds. Canales will indeed have say in who Carolina gets. However, we're channeling general manager Dan Morgan here. We've turned to the PFF mock draft simulator to find out who the Panthers get through the first three rounds. Morgan is another past draft gem for the Panthers. Now he's entering season two with his GM duties. Getting new weapons for Young is a priority. But so is improving one of the league's worst defenses. Carolina already looks like it'll part ways with Jadeveon Clowney, sparking the defensive needs. It's time to see who Morgan and Carolina grabs with its first three selections.
