Carolina Panthers Pre-Draft Roster Breakdown

A preview of the 2022 Panthers ahead of the NFL Draft.

The Panthers still have some holes to fill on its roster as we head into the 2022 NFL Draft. However, they did a tremendous job in the first wave of free agency addressing the offensive line and adding some pieces to the defense. Now, the biggest question marks lie at quarterback, left tackle/left guard, linebacker, and defensive end. 

With just one pick in the top 100 picks, the Panthers can't afford to miss on that selection at No. 6. The allure of a Malik Willis, Kenny Pickett, or Matt Corral can't supersede the immediate impact that Evan Neal, Ickey Ekwonu, Kayvon Thibodeaux, or Kyle Hamilton would have.

To get a better look at the Panthers' roster ahead of the draft, we take a look at what they have at each position.
