The Panthers could be looking to trade back. Carolina holds the No. 6 overall pick in the draft, but doesn’t pick again until the fourth round. The team could decide to move back in the draft to acquire more picks instead of staying at No. 6.
The Eagles, meanwhile, have been rumored as a potential candidate to trade up. Philadelphia has been linked to several of the top wide receivers and could trade up in order to ensure they get one.
As for the Texans, the team has two first-round picks. Sitting at No. 3 and No. 13, Houston has plenty of options at its disposal.
