The Panthers are “open to sliding back a few spots” in the NFL Draft, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports (Twitter link). They currently sit at No. 7, a prime opportunity to strengthen their stockpile if another team looks to move up for a quarterback, cornerback, or tackle.

The Panthers are looking to fill a number of holes on defense – cornerback, linebacker, interior defensive line, and safety are all on the to-do list, though not necessarily in that order. At No. 7, they should be in range for Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown and they could have the chance to take Clemson linebacker/safety Isaiah Simmons. Then, with their next seven choices (two picks in Round 5), they could fill out the rest.
Or, they can charge a king’s ransom to a team desperate for big-time help. Thanks to the Teddy Bridgewater signing, they don’t have to dedicate their top pick to a quarterback.
The Panthers aren’t the only Top 10 team willing to make a move. The Cardinals – who sit one spot below Carolina at No. 8 – could be swayed.
In my mock “Rockin’ Randy’s 2020 Mock Draft” I have them swapping picks with the Cardinals and the Cards drafting Jerry Jeudy.
