It’s unlikely, but Carolina may consider moving up in the draft.
Sitting tight at No. 33 seems like a good idea for the Carolina Panthers , in theory. However, they may get a little antsy, a little nervous when the end of the first round draws near.
Whoever it is they are targeting at 33 is likely someone that teams are looking at between picks 27-32. There will also be teams behind them in the second round who are looking to jump Carolina for said player. Last week, Panthers GM Dan Morgan made it clear that he’s not entering the draft with a particular mindset in regards to trading up or down from No. 33.
“We got to see how things play out. I’m not going to box myself into anything like hey, we’re not going to do this, we’re not going to do that. Ideally though, if we’re sitting there and there’s a really good player, we’ll take him. Trading up, those are discussions that we still have to have. I think everything’s on the table. I don’t want to box us in right now.
The Panthers know they have to add to the center position, but how high is it on their list of priorities? Is it No. 1? If it is and either Jackson Powers-Johnson or Zach Frazier are selected in the first 25 picks, it may force Morgan to go up and get the other. Trading up for a center is not ideal by any means, but if you have conviction and it doesn't cost a ton to move up, go get your guy.
