Panthers Draft Strategy: Late-Round Diamonds and Smart Succession

The Panthers are focusing on late-round prospects like Mitchell Evans and Jimmy Horn Junior, aiming to fill future holes without exhausting top picks. In the offensive line, Iowas Logan Jones and Floridas Austin Barber are potential third or fourth-round values for center and tackle positions, respectively. Defensive line depth is addressed with Missouris Chris McClellan, a battle-tested SEC vet, who could be a fourth-round steal. Linebacker depth is improved with TCUs Kaleb Elarms-Orr, a first-team All-Big Twelve honoree, who could upgrade the position in the fifth round. This strategy aims to build smart succession for the Panthers, setting them up strong for the future.
