The Carolina Panthers have very few glaring needs heading into the 2026 NFL Draft. General manager Dan Morgan splashed the cash in free agency on two immediate difference-makers while also fortifying depth. The next step is to strengthen the squad with the best available prospects.
Morgan and his front-office staff, with help from head coach Dave Canales and his team, are narrowing down their shortlist before the all-important selection process. Nothing should be ruled out, but it would be a big surprise if acquiring another productive tight end from the college ranks wasn't high on the Panthers' list of objectives.
