Report: Panthers in talks with teams about dealing No. 8 pick
Add the Carolina Panthers to the list of teams that may trade down during the first round of next week's NFL draft.
The Panthers have engaged in talks with other teams about trading back from the No. 8 pick, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Recently it's been reported that the Miami Dolphins - who hold the No. 6 pick - and the New York Giants at No. 11 are also considering trading down.
Currently, the Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals, Dolphins, and Detroit Lions own the seven selections ahead of the Panthers. Quarterbacks are widely expected to be taken with the first three picks.
The Panthers' slot could be appealing to any club looking to get into the top 10 to land a quarterback or star skill-position player.
Last year, Carolina selected defensive tackle Derrick Brown seventh overall.
