Why
The Carolina Panthers' current priorities begin at cornerback (CB) and interior offensive line (IOL). Safety (S) and pass rusher (EDGE) are the next groups that should be reinforced heading into the 2027 NFL Draft.

How he drafts
Track record read
Under Dan Morgan, the Panthers prioritize offense, seeking explosive receivers and versatile RBs, clearly aiming to surround their QB with talent. Recent trench picks on both sides of the ball confirm a build-from-the-lines approach, even with aggressive decisions like a second-round RB. The team appears unafraid to gamble on high-upside talent, regardless of college or conference.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Clemson
CBThe physical boundary corner Carolina needs to play press. Clean up the grabbing on vertical routes and he starts day one.
Utah
SBrings the true single-high range Carolina's missing deep. Needs mass to hold up in run support, but the ball instincts are legit.
Alabama
EDGEInstant get-off for Carolina's edge room. Wins purely on burst right now; his ceiling hinges on developing an actual rush plan.
Second round
3 names
Michigan
CBGives Carolina disciplined press technique and immediate run support on the boundary. Safe CB2 floor, but doesn't create turnovers.
LSU
SGives Carolina the size and range they desperately need at deep safety. Instant starter if the jump in competition doesn't expose him.
Oregon
EDGESets the edge from day one with pure power. Safe early-down floor; the pass rush ceiling hinges on developing counter moves.
Third round
3 names
Michigan
CBGives Carolina the boundary size and run support they desperately lack outside. Stiff hips, but he fights for 50-50 balls.
Notre Dame
SBrings the deep-range ballhawk Carolina’s secondary lacks. Clear starter upside if he cleans up his sloppy tackling.
Texas State
EDGEBrings the electric get-off Carolina's edge rotation needs. Even if his size limits him to a pass-rush specialist, he still pays for himself.
