There was confusion recently regarding the Carolina Panthers' draft picks for the 2025 NFL Draft. A misunderstanding on social media suggested that the Panthers had lost a draft pick, but this is not the case. The team retains a total of nine picks, with eight in the first five rounds.
The initial uncertainty arose when an internal list from the league mistakenly indicated a trade involving a fourth-round pick with Chicago, which was not accurate. The Panthers still hold their own fourth-round pick (No. 111) and one acquired from Dallas (No. 114) through last year's trade for wide receiver Jonathan Mingo.
Social media users reacted quickly to the erroneous information, leading to widespread confusion. However, it has been clarified that the Panthers have not lost any picks. The mix-up highlights how errors can spread rapidly online.
The team's complete list of draft picks includes their own first-rounder at No. 8 overall and various other selections acquired through trades with teams like Los Angeles Rams, New York Giants, and Baltimore Ravens.
