Carolina Panthers 2021 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 9.0

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 (4/15)

8. Rashawn Slater, OT, Northwestern

What will the Panthers do if one of the top five quarterback prospects (Trey Lance in this scenario) are still on the board when they are on the clock? At a minimum, the front office will at least consider double-dipping despite giving up three picks including a second-rounder in 2022 for Sam Darnold.

[Interesting note: Darnold is eight months younger than Joe Burrow.]

The Panthers used their franchise tag on right tackle Taylor Moton and Russell Okung, last year's starting left tackle, is currently a 32-year-old free agent. Slater's critics may point to his lack of ideal size or length, but if you watch Slater's tape against (former) Ohio State (and current WFT) edge rusher Chase Young, it's easy to project his ability to hold his own outside against NFL-caliber edge rushers. In addition, he has the versatility to play anywhere on the offensive line.

Fox Sports - Rang (4/15)

8. Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida

Widely regarded as a blue-chip talent, Pitts should not be available this late in the draft. However, the exceptional talent at quarterback and the fact Miami and Detroit already boast two of the league's better young tight ends in Mike Gesicki and T.J. Hockenson, respectively, could cause Pitts to fall right into Carolina's lap.

CBS Sports - Jones (4/14)

8. Ja'Marr Chase, WR, LSU

The urge to reunite Chase with OC Joe Brady is too strong to ignore for Carolina in this mock. It's not a need for Carolina (that's OL, DL and CB) but Matt Rhule has promised they'll take the best player available. Panthers ultimately couldn't turn down the best wide receiver in the draft, especially after losing Curtis Samuel and having Robby Anderson in the final year of his deal.

The Athletic -- Rank: 23

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.
