After finishing the 2024 NFL regular season with a 5-12 record, the Carolina Panthers received the No. 8 overall pick, to go along with eight other selections in the 2025 NFL draft.
Among the Panthers‘ most glaring needs are several spots on defense. Carolina allowed the most points in a single season in league history in 2024 and finished last in the NFL in total offensive yards allowed.
In addition to defensive needs, the Panthers will certainly look to help out quarterback Bryce Young, the No. 1 overall pick in 2023, by adding some more playmakers on offense after Young showed marked improvement in his sophomore campaign.
