Although we are still a month or so away from the offseason, it wouldn't hurt to take a first glance at the 2022 NFL Draft during the Panthers' bye week. Carolina currently holds a 5-7 record which would give them the eighth overall pick if the season were to end today. With the remaining schedule the Panthers have, there's a very good chance they finish the year with just five or six wins. By doing so, it will essentially guarantee them a top 10 pick in next year's draft. Below, I made my initial predictions as to what the Panthers may do in the 2022 NFL Draft. Yes, there is no quarterback being selected in this mock. Why? Well, I don't see any of the available quarterbacks being someone who can come in and be a franchise guy for the next 8-10 years. I expect the Panthers to be active on the trade market for a quarterback this offseason.
