The Carolina Panthers are willing to take a step down on the first night of the 2025 NFL draft.
On Tuesday, president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan took some time to speak with reporters ahead of this year's selection process. With his team in possession of the eighth overall pick, Morgan was asked where he believes the first-round talent in the class begins to fall off.
"I don't really wanna get into specifics on where I would want to trade back to, but we're definitely open to trading back and acquiring more picks," he replied. "I think we're gonna be open to all possibilities—let's put it that way."
One possibility could see a quarterback-needy team call up the Panthers to jump the New Orleans Saints, who sit at the No. 9 spot. We learned this past Friday that Saints starter Derek Carr is currently dealing with a significant shoulder injury that could limit his availability during the upcoming campaign.
And while Morgan stated that his phone wasn't really ringing after that particular news dropped, he knows that there still may be multiple other chances to make a move.
"It only takes one team to fall in love with a player," Morgan said. "A team could fall in love with a player and decide they wanna trade up with us and go get their guy.
"I just look at it as—a team may really love a guy. So, we'll be waiting if somebody wants to come up."
