The Carolina Panthers' 2025 season is now officially over after they lost to the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card game on Saturday.
With that loss, the Panthers' first-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft is now locked in. According to Tankathon, the Panthers will pick from the No. 19 spot on Day 1.
Since Carolina entered the playoffs with the worst record of all the teams in the postseason, the results of the rest of the games this weekend have no impact on Carolina's draft position.
Now, a look at the full list of picks Carolina owns in the 2026 NFL draft.
Panthers 2026 NFL draft picks
- Round 1 (No. 18 overall)
- Round 2
- Round 3
- Round 4
- Round 5
- Round 5 (via MIN)
- Round 6
The Panthers don't have their seventh-round selection thanks to the trade sending wideout Adam Thielen to the Minnesota Vikings, but they received a fifth-round pick back in the deal.
That trade did not work out for the Vikings, as Thielen caught just eight passes for 69 scoreless yards in 11 games.
Minnesota cut Thielen, leading to him landing with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he has more catches and yards in less than half the contests.
The 2026 NFL draft is scheduled for April 23-25 and will take place in Pittsburgh.
