2020 NFL draft: 3 trade-down scenarios that make sense for the Panthers

Here are three trade-down scenarios that make sense for Carolina, one for each day of the draft.

Day 3: Panthers trade No. 113 pick to Eagles for No. 145 and No. 146 picks

No. 145 – Thaddeus Moss, TE, LSU

Tight end is not the deepest position group in this class, but this pick would make a nice fit for Joe Brady’s offense. Moss (6-foot-3, 249 pounds) has experience playing for him at LSU. In 2019, he caught 47 passes, totaling 570 yards and four touchdowns.

No. 146 – Kenny Willekes, DE, Michigan State

Willekes is one of several EDGE prospects the team has shown interest in leading up to the draft. His production over the last three seasons was terrific – totaling 23.5 sacks and 49 tackles for a loss. Getting him this late in the draft might qualify as a steal.
