Carolina Panthers 2021 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 6.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2021 NFL draft, we will update our Carolina Panthers Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Carolina Panthers from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Panthers:

EDSFootball - Hanson (3/5)

8. Trey Lance, QB, North Dakota State

As much as the Texans may not be motivated to trade away their franchise quarterback, the Panthers will be one of the more aggressive teams in the pursuit for Deshaun Watson's services. Based on this mock, the Panthers draft a high-upside prospect that could sit behind Teddy Bridgewater for a year (or two, if necessary).

While Lance is making the jump from only 17 games -- including only one in 2020 -- against FCS-level competition, the dual-threat quarterback accounted for 48 touchdowns -- 30 passing and 18 rushing -- and threw only one interception in collegiate career.

ESPN - McShay (3/4)

3. Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State

Carolina is closer to competing than its 5-11 record suggested, and a real game-breaker under center would go a long way toward getting the Panthers there. Teddy Bridgewater was more of a game manager last season, especially down the stretch, throwing only four more touchdowns than interceptions. Fields can make off-schedule throws or tuck it and run, but he has shown poise when he hangs in the pocket too. Accuracy pops on his deep balls.

David Newton on his fit with the Panthers: Even if Bridgewater isn't traded and remains on the roster, Carolina likely would throw Fields into the starting lineup and grow with him as it did with Cam Newton in 2011. You trade up like this only if you believe that player will be your franchise quarterback and can make an immediate impact. Bridgewater's deal runs through 2022, but there is a potential out after this season.

Taylor Moton, OT: He's played well at right tackle for Carolina and has never missed a game in his four-year career. Moton turns 27 in August. He's precisely the type of low-risk, reliable player who generally cashes in on the free-agent market.

CBS Sports -- Rank: 23

They showed some toughness to win a game against Washington on the road. Matt Rhule is showing well this season with an undermanned team.
