The Carolina Panthers are back in the win column this week after taking down the Arizona Cardinals in overtime, 36-30. While a win is always good news for where a team is going, it won't help their chances of landing Travis Hunter, Mason Graham or another blue-chip talent in the upcoming 2025 NFL draft. Following their Week 16 win, Carolina has dropped two spots in the draft order.
