The Panthers have lost five games in a row heading into Week 11. While last week’s loss to the Chiefs had the silver lining of slotting them for a top-10 pick in the 2021 NFL draft, this week’s collapse against the Buccaneers did nothing to improve their draft position. Carolina is on pace to pick at No. 9 overall, the same as last week.
Here is the updated 2021 NFL draft order after Week 10, according to Tankathon.
1. New York Jets (0-9)
2. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-8)
3. Washington Football Team (2-7)
4. Dallas Cowboys (2-7)
5. Los Angeles Chargers (2-7)
6. Miami Dolphins (via 2-7 Houston Texans)
7. Cincinnati Bengals (2-6-1)
8. New York Giants (3-7)
9. Carolina Panthers (3-7)
10. Atlanta Falcons (3-6)
11. Denver Broncos (3-6)
12. San Francisco 49ers (4-6)
13. Detroit Lions (4-5)
14. Minnesota Vikings (4-5)
15. New England Patriots (4-5)
16. Chicago Bears (5-5)
17. Cleveland Browns (6-3)
18. Tennessee Titans (6-3)
— Playoff teams —
19. Philadelphia Eagles (3-5-1)
20. Arizona Cardinals (6-3)
21. New York Jets (via 6-3 Seattle Seahawks)
22. Miami Dolphins (6-3)
23. Indianapolis Colts (6-3)
24. Baltimore Ravens (6-3)
25. Jacksonville Jaguars (via 6-3 LA Rams)
26. Las Vegas Raiders (6-3)
27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-3)
28. Buffalo Bills (7-3)
29. Green Bay Packers (7-2)
30. Kansas City Chiefs (8-1)
31. New Orleans Saints (7-2)
32. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-0)
The remaining games on the Panthers’ schedule are much easier than they have been so far this season, so it’s unlikely they will be trending closer to a No. 1 pick down the stretch.
However, Teddy Bridgewater and Christian McCaffrey are now both injured, so we may not have seen the worst from this team yet.
