My idea of trading up in the 2025 NFL Draft did not go over well, so let’s give the people what they want. In this particular mock draft, I used the Pro Football Network mock draft simulator (because I didn’t want to pay for the PFF one). I had a simple set of rules for this mock as the Carolina Panthers. If another team offers a trade, I have to accept. If multiple teams offer a trade, I accept what I consider the best offer. My first priority was to gain more picks in this year’s draft, but gaining picks in next year’s draft would also be an option.
