The Panthers, FWIW, are the first team to officially say, on the record, they're not interested. Not surprising. Carolina has the #1 pick.

The Panthers hold the No. 1 draft pick after trading up from No. 9 with the Chicago Bears.

Fitterer has made it clear the team will choose a quarterback and said the Panthers feel good about the draft class.
