Panthers Director General Dan Morgan, who repeated his previous position when he moved down, again invited all managers who traded for a top-10 choice to call Carolina about the total selection no. 8 in the first round.
With nine days before 2025 the NFL draft begins, Morgan repeated its desire to trade # 8 to acquire additional assets.
“Exciting to continue building, adding talent to the guard list. We are definitely open to shop back and acquire more choices,” Morgan said Tuesday. “I think we will be open to all possibilities.”
By going through alternatives in the first round, an alternative mentioned that Morgan did not mention.
Usually trading for elections in the lower half of the top 10 in the draft is made while a team is on the clock on the draft. Morgan said his phone does not call, but he does not take the chance that rival decision makers can make an offer to another team further down in hacking order.
From Tuesday afternoon, all 32 teams held their original elections in the first round.
“I don’t think yet,” Morgan said about some trading calls this week. “It’s still a little early for it, but maybe along the line I expect it a bit more. Right now things are quiet.”
Morgan said that Panthers will make a choice in the first round. He would not go into how far he would be willing to shop back in a deal involving the eighth total selection.
“Of course, we count figures,” said Morgan and noted needs at outside linebacks and internal defensive line. “It’s still an emphasis we want to deal with, just making our front seven as strong as it can be.”
