Here are the salary cap details for each of the Carolina Panthers’ 2023 draftees.
Courtesy of the good folks over at Spotrac, let’s take a look at the salary cap details (when they are signed, sealed and delivered) for each of the Carolina Panthers’ 2023 draftees.
Here are the webs the newest Panthers spun back at this year’s combine.
The 2023 NFL draft was a pretty important one for the Carolina Panthers. But, they came away with just five players—two of which didn’t do much at the combine a few months back.
Nonetheless, we’re continuing our collective looks into this year’s class and—in this very case—rounding up their athletic testing from Indianapolis. So, here are the group’s spider graphs from what they did (and didn’t do) at Lucas Oil Stadium in March.
How athletic is the Panthers’ 2023 draft class? Let’s take a look at the RAS metrics for the group.
The Carolina Panthers may have gotten themselves a franchise quarterback from the 2023 NFL draft, but they did find themselves some high-end athletes as well?
Let’s see what Kent Lee Platte’s Relative Athletic Score (RAS) metrics say about this year’s class.
The Panthers gave us an inside look and listen into the draft calls for each of their 2023 selections.
Young football players who aspire to reach the NFL work much of their lives to get “the call.” It’s a moment of excitement, relief, validation and—for some—motivation.
And, luckily for us, the Carolina Panthers provided an inside look at each of those rings for their 2023 draft class. Here they are . . .
Panthers fans are digging their team’s Day 3 picks—NC State G Chandler Zavala and Florida State S Jammie Robinson.
The Carolina Panthers weren’t particularly busy on Day 3 of the 2023 NFL draft, coming into Saturday afternoon with just a pair of late-round picks. But that pair of picks have their fans buzzing.
Here are some of their reactions to the selections of guard Chandler Zavala and safety Jammie Robinson.
Jammie Robinson believes the Panthers made the best pick of the draft when they grabbed him with the 145th overall selection.
New Carolina Panthers safety Jammie Robinson must be a big Cam Newton fan.
On Saturday afternoon, the Florida State University defender was selected with the 145th overall pick of the 2023 NFL draft. But Robinson, who spoke to team reporters shortly after the announcement, is confident that there aren’t 144 players from this weekend who are better than him.
“I’ve been upset since yesterday,” he said of having to wait for his name to be called. “I’ve been upset about just this whole thing. But I know this pick is gonna be the best pick in the draft. Carolina Panthers, y’all know I’m finna come in, I’m finna compete for a spot. I’m just gonna be a team guy. I know there’s not 144 guys better than me. But, hey, it is what it is.”
What it seems to be is a steal for the Panthers, who were able to nab the projected Day 2 pick in the fifth round. Robinson is viewed as one of the most well-rounded safeties of the class, one that apparently shouldn’t have the 22-year-old anywhere near that No. 145 spot.
Regardless, Carolina might’ve gotten themselves a keeper—in Robinson and in the guy who went 144 picks ahead of him.
“I knew he was gonna be the first pick,” Robinson said of Bryce Young. “He’s a great quarterback, great leader, great guy. I mean, the winning speaks for itself. He was at Alabama. You know, he’s not the biggest. He’s not the biggest. But guess what? He’s a dawg. You know what I’m sayin’? The dawg’s gonna last.”
So, it looks as though the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t take all the dawgs this year after all.

The Panthers selected Florida State S Jammie Robinson with the 145th overall pick of the 2023 NFL draft.
The Carolina Panthers are done drafting for the year . . . unofficially.
Unless they trade back up into the fray, the team made their final pick of the weekend in Florida State University safety Jammie Robinson. The 22-year-old now goes down as the 145th overall selection of the 2023 NFL draft.
A Cordele, Ga. native, Robinson made his first foray into the area in 2019, as a recruit for the University of South Carolina. He’d spend two seasons there—amassing 135 total tackles (3.5 for a loss) and two interceptions.
Robinson moved on to Florida State in 2021, where he’d see a bit more action between his junior and senior campaigns. As a Seminole, he recorded 183 tackles (12.0 for a loss), a sack and five picks over 15 games—earning a pair of First-team All-ACC nods in the process.
The 5-foot-11, 191-pounder is regarded as one of the most well-rounded safeties in the class. He should also come in handy for Ejiro Evero’s new defense.

With day three of the NFL Draft upon us, @TheKevinFielder looks at the best prospect fits for the Minnesota Vikings.
There’s an age-old saying that Super Bowls are built on Day 3 of the NFL Draft.
The thinking behind that is built on the number of picks on Day 3 and the players that might be available. While teams select potential stars in the first round, the role players to help win teams’ games are drafted later.
The good news for the Minnesota Vikings is that they’ll have five selections on Day 3 after trading down with the San Francisco 49ers near the end of the third round.
The Vikings will first be on the clock with the 119th overall pick in the fourth round. Following the trade with the 49ers, the Vikings also have two fifth-round picks (No. 158 and 164), a sixth (No. 211), and a seventh-round selection (No. 222).
After two days of the NFL Draft, here are the best remaining fits for the Vikings.
Going into day three, there is still really good talent to be had.
The Minnesota Vikings had only one selection on day two of the NFL draft. They traded back with the San Francisco 49ers and ultimately selected USC cornerback Mekhi Blackmon.
As the team heads into day three of the NFL draft, they have five selections and many promising players still available on the board.
Managing editor Tyler Forness put together a big board prior to the NFL draft beginning and there are still multiple players in his top 20 left on the board. Here are the top 10 players available on Forness’ big board.
