Panthers Reportedly 'Most Likely' Team in Top 10 to Trade Back in 2025 NFL Draft

The Carolina Panthers could reportedly trade back in Thursday's NFL Draft.

The Panthers currently have the No. 8 pick, but are "the most likely team in the top 10 to move out," per The Ringer's Todd McShay.

"I am told by a credible source, and then I vetted it after that... the Carolina Panthers are the most likely team in the top 10 to move out," McShay said on The McShay Show (32:00 mark). "I'm actually told that Dan Morgan and the organization would consider a less-than-market deal to move back."

McShay noted that if the Panthers keep their pick, one possible option would be Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker, but they'd be more likely to trade back and hope that Ole Miss defensive lineman Walter Nolen is still available.

Nolen, who started his career at Texas A&M and spent his final season with the Rebels, racked up 48 tackles and 6.5 sacks in his final season.

While his collegiate numbers are strong, Nolen hasn't been pegged as a top-10 pick in this year's draft. Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department projects the Los Angeles Chargers to take him at No. 22, and he is the 14th overall player on the latest big board from Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department.
