Heading into the 2025 NFL draft, the Carolina Panthers roster has a lot of holes to fill. Offensively, they're going to need a wide receiver, a tight end and at least some depth at offensive tackle given their brinksmanship with both Ickey Ekwonu and Taylor Moton.

This wouldn't be the time that the Panthers and Giants converge on a major deal centered on a pass rusher. The two teams struck a blockbuster trade last spring, when Carolina traded away two-time Pro Bowler Brian Burns to New York.

With Derek Carr's availability now in question, the New Orleans Saints are suddenly favorites to be in the quarterback business at the start of the 2025 NFL Draft. That is unless their NFC South rivals thwart them.
