Panthers Eye Draft Risers, Tilis Prefers Steady Picks

Panthers Eye Draft Risers, Tilis Prefers Steady Picks

Author: The Daily News Now! April 13, 2026 Duration: 1:12

The Carolina Panthers are considering two draft prospects, Monroe Freeling and Dillon Thieneman, for their nineteenth overall pick. Freeling, an offensive tackle, and Thieneman, a secondary player, are potential first-round picks after rising in draft rankings. However, Panthers executive Brandt Tilis prefers consistent high-ranked players over late bloomers. Fans and scouts are divided on the prospects upside and risk, with some concerned about Freelings late-season hand usage and Thienemans raw athleticism not always translating to success. The Panthers may opt for steadier options to avoid overdrafting hype over proven tape.
