Carolina Panthers' Safety Draft Picks

0:00On April 14th, the 2026 NFL Draft is just days away, kicking off April 23rd in Pittsburgh, and the Carolina Panthers hold 7. Pick starting with number 19 overall in round 1, then 51 in round 2, 83 in round 3, and so on down to number 2. 100 in round 6. Teams are scrambling with final visits and roster tweaks, but today, we're zeroing in on safety, a spot where the Panthers could add some heat. They beefed up the secondary last year by signing Trayvon Mowaric in free agency, and that dude brought the physicality that shut down the run game. Big time. Nick Scott stepped up too, logging a career high 109 tackles while starting every game and keeping the defense talking on point. Fans and analysts see the depth here as solid but aging quick. With only Mowaric in last year's draft pick, Lathon ran some locked in pastus. Season ran some even snagged a key interception against the Buccaneers. Scott's the vocal leader, but bringing in youth to learn from him makes total sense for long-term vibes.

1:03Scouts are buzzing about guys like Ohio State's Caleb Downs, a leader from a football family with three years starting in big spots in eager run, support. Oregon's Dylan Theaneman flies with a 4.3540 and versatile playmaking, while LSU's AJ Halsey brings ball-hawking instincts with. 8 picks over two years. As the Panthers eye that number 19 slot and beyond, layering and safety talent could lock down the back end for years, keeping the secondary fresh and fierce heading into the draft frenzy.
