Back to EpisodesPanthers' Draft Priorities: Edge, WR, Safety
Description
The Carolina Panthers, with seven picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, are focusing on defensive edge, wide receiver, and safety positions. Their biggest need is to improve pass rush, as they rank last in sacks since 2023. Potential targets at pick nineteen include wideout Makai Lemon or edge Keldric Faulk. Indianas Omar Cooper Junior could be a strong second-round target. Coach Dave Canales hinted at safeties like Dillon Thieneman or Emmanuel McNeil-Warren. The Panthers have a history of drafting offensive players, but this draft could help balance the roster with defensive picks.
