Panthers' Draft: Tight End or Trade Up?

0:00On April 16, Carolina Panthers GM Dan Morgan has been stacking wide receivers for quarterback Bryce Young, grabbing Xavier Leggett and Ted Aeroa, McMillan in the first round over the past two drafts. Now with the 19th pick in 2026, he might keep that trend alive or pivot to tie it in. Their biggest offensive gap since Greg Olson, hung it up. Kenyan Sadeek out of Oregon is blowing up in mock drafts for Carolina. His dude ran a 4.3940 yard dash at the combine, smashing the tight end record. Last season, he snagged 51 passes for 560 yards and 8 touchdowns, helping the ducks reach the playoff semis. Fans and analysts see the Panthers rising after snapping a seven-year playoff drought with an 8-9 NFC South title. Morgan's preaching culture change, and it shows players want to join a squad that's trending up, especially after he dropped big free agent cash on edge. Russia, Jalen Phillips, for four years and 120 million, plus linebacker Devon Lloyd

1:00for three years and 45 million, tied in in safety top the needs list, with inside linebacker Dev also calling since switching to a 3-4 defense. They've got quarterback covered with Kenny Pickett's backup, running back insurance via Jonathan Brooks, AJ Dillon and Trevor Etienne, and left. Tackle locked with Rashid Walker on a one-year, $10 million deal, replacing injured Ike Equanoo. Little eyes on Sadik if he slas to 19, but don't sleep on Morgan trading up. I love wheeling and dealing on draft night to snag his guy.
