Breaking: Panthers’ Offense Gets a Major Boost: 2025 Mock Draft Adds Dynamic Playmakers Around Bryce Young
The Carolina Panthers are on the verge of wrapping up another dreadful season. Despite major investments into the offense last offseason, there’s more work to be done. The rebuild continues.
A major part of the process will be the 2025 NFL Draft. With quarterback Bryce Young playing better as this season has progressed, the Panthers can confidently give Young another year to develop before making a major decision.
Our latest 7-round 2025 NFL mock draft for the Panthers aims to improve the roster so Young can flourish.
Carolina Panthers 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft
Round 1, No. 5: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
I went with the best player on my board for this pick. While going with a receiver is justified, the Panthers just need star power somewhere. Abdul Carter brings elite athleticism and a skill set that can be a foundational piece.
Helping the defense first absolutely helps Young and the offense. With Carter’s huge upside and already impressive production as a first-year, full-time pass-rusher bodes incredibly well that he’ll become a $100 million player in the future.
Round 2, No. 52: Evan Stewart, WR, Oregon
2024 hasn’t brought the breakout season we had hoped for Evan Stewart, but his skill set is still valuable. A speedy playmaker who has unusual hand strength and finishing ability for a 170-pounder, Stewart is fast and efficient throughout his routes. Pairing him with Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker is a solid core.
