CHARLOTTE - 'Twas the morning of the Draft and all through the mocks, not a consensus was found, ... there were no locks.

From Sewell to Slater, Surtain to Farley, it's time to tune in tonight, and then we'll all see.

Daniel Jeremiah's final mock draft for NFL.com has Carolina staying put at No. 8 and selecting cornerback Patrick Surtain II out of Alabama.

ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay predict the Panthers to take Northwestern tackle Rashawn Slater at No. 8, while PFF's Mike Renner and CBS Sports' Chris Trapasso have Oregon tackle Penei Sewell at that spot.

The Athletic and The Draft Network predict a trade back in the first round, with Carolina eventually ending up with either Virginia Tech cornerback Caleb Farley or South Carolina cornerback Jaycee Horn.
