The Carolina Panthers are unlikely to use their first-round pick on a replacement for quarterback Bryce Young. Their three-win 2024 campaign could be enough to give head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan a shot to pick the best possible prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft. Two of the players who have a shot at earning that hypothetical title are Colorado two-way Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham. Both have the potential to be immediate Day 1 starters who fill positions of need for Carolina. Morgan will have a very difficult decision to make if both Hunter and Graham are on the board when Carolina picks. If the Panthers are set on getting the most immediate value for a budding young roster in a very weak division, this 2025 NFL Mock Draft could be the best outline for the front office to follow.
