Is there a chance that the Panthers will get the number one overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft once again? If they do, there is no way that Bryce Young will be the quarterback for the long haul. There will be many options for Carolina with that selection.
The consensus is that Carson Beck from the Georgia Bulldogs will be the number one overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, other names like Sheuder Sanders of the Colorado Buffaloes and Quinn Ewers of the Texas Longhorns will be some other quarterbacks taken in this year’s class.
Even if Carolina does not land the number one pick, they will be in quarterback contention unless Young takes massive strides. The New York Giants could give the Panthers a run for their money for the number one pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. They both will play each other in Munich, Germany on November, 10 and the quarterback battle between Daniel Jones and Young will burn people’s eyes.
