The Carolina Panthers shocked the NFL world by trading a massive haul of picks to move up from the 9th overall pick to the 1st overall pick in the upcoming draft. However, despite the aggressive move, it appears the Panthers are still unsure who they will select with the top pick.
Reports suggest that the Panthers traded up because they believed they would miss out on the top quarterback prospects if they stayed at the 9th spot. However, with uncertainty about who they will select, the team may consider trading down and still land their target if it turns out to be a lower-projected player like Will Levis or Anthony Richardson.
While it's not unusual for a team to trade up to secure a top pick, the lack of clarity on the Panthers' part has left fans feeling uneasy. It remains to be seen what direction the team will take and whether their bold move will pay off in the end.
