Morgan dedicated his first pick on each day of the draft to a skill position player. And he certainly had a type.

Receiver Xavier Legette, running back Jonathon Brooks and tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders are all super-athletic prospects who could develop into a mismatch nightmare for defenses at the next level.

In other words, if everything goes right, these are players that can transform a plodding and lifeless Panthers offense into an explosive and exciting unit led by quarterback Bryce Young.

Clearly, that's what the Panthers wanted to get out of this draft. Time will tell if they succeeded.

Why not? 😂

Yes, this is way too early, and, yes, we're calling this a 2025 NFL Mock Draft ... but maybe a better way to look at this is not as your garden-variety mock draft -- "Here's who your team will take 51 weeks from now having no idea how the current roster and subsequent season unfolds" -- but as a guide to the college players you should keep an eye on during the 2024 season. As always, the conversation will start with the quarterbacks, but as we sit here, there are no Caleb Williams-type prospects – though no one was talking up Jayden Daniels or J.J. McCarthy last May, either.

Again, to reiterate: This is less "mock draft" than "handy list of names to look out for in the fall." That said, we have to mention this: the draft order is using Caesars Sportsbook's Super Bowl odds (prior to Round 1) but in reverse order. We know folks are going to be very angry about why we have their team picking so high, but it's not our fault. These are your team's odds of winning a Lombardi Trophy, as determined Las Vegas.

If nothing else, using the betting odds means that, for the third straight year, the Panthers have the No. 1 overall pick. Hopefully first-year coach Dave Canales can get the most out of Bryce Young, but if that doesn't happen … you'd have to imagine quarterback at No. 1 (for the second time in three drafts for Carolina) will be a talking point.

1) Braves (previously: 1). For all the good vibes going on with the Braves right now, it’s worth noting that Austin Riley, like fellow All-Star Ronald Acuña Jr., hasn’t been off to the most blistering start. He’s only hitting .234 with an alarmingly low two homers for a guy with consistent pure power. Sunday might be the game that gets him going, though. He was 0-for-8 in the AL’s best team vs. NL’s best team grudge match over the weekend heading into Sunday, but he had two hits, one of them a huge one: A 10th-inning walk-off single that wrapped up the series for the Braves. The Braves are 19-7 without having either Riley or Acuña doing much. Wait until they do. (And they will.)
