The Panthers added another tight end with their first pick in the 5th round.
With the 163rd pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Panthers selected tight end Mitchell Evans out of Notre Dame.
The Panthers once again stood pat with their day 3 pick after a wild trading flurry in day 2. They eventually nabbed Mitchell Evans with their second pick in the 5th round. Evans joins a tight end room in Carolina headed by Tommy Tremble and 2024 4th round pick Ja’Tavion Sanders.
Evans figures into Carolina’s offense as a contested catch type tight end who can block well off the ball. Currently, Carolina does need that after Ian Thomas left in free agency. I do not expect Mitchell Evans to usurp Tremble or Sanders, but I think he will be a nice compliment who can do a little bit of everything. The Panthers have definitely prioritized defense this offseason, but they’ve made 3 picks in the Draft to help Bryce Young and the offense.
