The Carolina Panthers are in the middle of the evaluation phase of the 2025 NFL Draft. Following a chat with GM Dan Morgan in Texas, Panthers beat writer Mike Kaye projects the top 10 picks, including Carolina’s eighth overall selection.

In Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft, the Bears make a big move shoring up the trenches with their No. 10 pick.

Production has not matched talent to this point, but Williams has top-five traits — not unlike former Georgia (and current Jacksonville) standout Travon Walker, who was the No. 1 pick in 2022. Williams is a projection as much as anything right now, but if he tests off the charts, he might not make it this far.
