As we look forward with anticipation to see what the Panthers will do with the No. 6 pick in the 2022 draft, let’s pause for a bit and see how Carolina has done with their past first round selections.
Since the team’s inception in 1995 the Panthers have drafted 27 players in the first round. Here’s how the careers of each of these players ended up playing out overall, whether with the Panthers or with other teams. I’m excluding the Panthers last three first rounders — Jaycee Horn, Derrick Brown, and Brian Burns (a 2021 Pro Bowl selection) — because they’re still so young in their careers.
