This afternoon, Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer fielded numerous questions about what he and the rest of the front office were looking to do with the 2022 NFL draft’s sixth overall pick. And, of course, the team is apparently considering a handful of avenues—with an offensive lineman, a quarterback and even a trade-down among them.
So if you were still left wondering what’ll ultimately happen with Carolina, you’re not the only one.
According to NFL insider Josina Anderson, the Panthers’ intentions with the selection has garnered some buzz within league circles as we inch closer to Thursday. There’s been so much speculation, apparently, that it’s bumped the sport’s hottest topic—the trade demands of San Francisco 49ers star wideout Deebo Samuel—to the side.
