With three games left to play in the 2024 NFL season, the Carolina Panthers have all but locked in a top ten pick in the 2025 NFL Draft with their loss to the Dallas Cowboys yesterday. The loss also officially eliminated them from the 2024 playoffs by making it mathematically impossible for the now 3-11 team to win the NFC South.
The Panthers currently are in line for the fifth overall pick amidst a raft of four other 3-11 teams, so their final draft position is going to be hard to predict until the season is over.
