NFL Rumors: Panthers Want to Trade Down, Like Kenny Pickett in 1st Round of NFL Draft

The Carolina Panthers currently hold the No. 6 pick in the 2022 NFL draft, but they could trade back and target a quarterback later in the first round.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler broke down the team's potential strategy on SportsCenter:

"I'm told the Panthers would love to be able to move back because they don't have second- or third-round picks and still get a quarterback either in the teens or somewhere later in the first round.
"Kenny Pickett is a player they've done a lot of homework on. They like him, they believe he fits Ben McAdoo's offense and he's ready to play now, which is what the Panthers need with Matt Rhule coming off two losing seasons.
