DRAFT TRACKER

The Panthers signed Rasheed Walker as a potential fill-in at left tackle while Ikem Ekwonu works his way back from a patellar tendon injury, but center is still an important spot that could use an upgrade. Bryce Young would undoubtedly welcome more help at receiver, even with a promising young tandem in 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. More playmakers are needed for a squad that ranked 27th in points per game last season (18.3). As for Ejiro Evero’s defense, a starting-caliber safety should be a draft target. The Panthers should also be looking to add competitors to the mix at cornerback and the interior defensive line. -- by Dan Parr
