The Carolina Panthers had a productive 2025 NFL Draft, adding key players that will shape the future of their roster. Quarterback Bryce Young is a clear winner with the selection of wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, his training partner, enhancing the passing game. However, running back Raheem Blackshear faces uncertainty after the Panthers drafted Trevor Etienne, potentially relegating him to third on the depth chart. Wide receiver Xavier Legette also benefits from McMillan's arrival, allowing him to showcase his big-play ability. On the other hand, Jadeveon Clowney's prospects dimmed following the Panthers' draft of two pass rushers, raising questions about his future. Defensive back Mike Jackson emerged as a winner as the Panthers opted not to draft at his position, solidifying his role alongside Pro Bowler Jaycee Horn.
