Unfortunately for the Carolina Panthers, the San Francisco 49ers are still alive and kicking. Sunday night’s win over the Dallas Cowboys pushed the Niners into the conference championship and—more importantly for our purposes over here—pushed some the of Panthers’ upcoming draft picks down in the queue.
Carolina, of course, shipped away star running back Christian McCaffrey in October for San Francisco’s 2023 picks in the second, third and fourth rounds. So the longer McCaffrey and his crew go, the lower the Panthers will pick in those spots.
But, hey, at least there’s always that first-round pick of theirs.

- Chicago Bears (3-14)
