Panthers mock draft roundup 10.0: Tracking the latest 2026 projections
Our latest mock draft roundup for the Panthers is quite heavy on a pretty popular offensive weapon.
The 2026 NFL Draft is now just three days away! So, has the focus on who we think the Carolina Panthers will take with this year's first-rounder become clearer? Well, according to some of the latest projections, it has.
Here is our latest mock draft roundup, which stars a certain Oregon Ducks pass catcher . . .
USA Today Pick: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon Author : Nate Davis Take : The first tight end in combine history to record a sub-4. 4 40, Sadiq, who also had a 43½-inch vert, certainly made some money in Indianapolis. And maybe he gets paid in Charlotte, where the Panthers haven't gotten much from their tight ends in recent seasons and could use another weapon that would provide an easy target for QB Bryce Young.
Sadiq is also a willing blocker in the run game. NFL Media Pick: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon Author : Chad Reuter Take : However GM Dan Morgan chooses to proceed with Bryce Young after exercising the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, adding the explosive Sadiq to his stable of pass catchers will maximize Carolina's chances of getting the most out of the QB. The Ringer Pick: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon Author : Danny Heifetz Take : Carolina needs a safety, but with the top three gone, head coach Dave Canales will want a player who can start.
