CHARLOTTE — The Panthers have eight more picks to make the rest of the draft, starting tonight at 7 p.m. when the second round begins.

Or do they?

General manager Dan Morgan, executive vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis, and coach Dave Canales are only a day into their second drafts here. Still, if they have shown any tendencies, it's being willing to do nearly anything.

So, as he resets for the rest of the draft after choosing Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan with the No. 8 overall choice last night, Morgan knows his destination could be different than the points on the map he's looking at now.

"I think it's just going back, reassessing your board and trying to figure out what guy is going to fall to us at 57," Morgan said late Thursday night. "And then just kind of weighing the options of, hey, should we trade up? Should we stay where we're at? Should we trade back?

"So, I just think all options are on the table again, right? With the second pick, we're just going to attack it, and we're gonna follow the board."

Last year, in their first year in charge, they showed a willingness to move in both directions.

They initially traded back from the 39th overall spot in a deal with the Rams, in a trade that brought them this year's second-rounder, which they previously lacked.

Specifically, they got the Rams' 2024 second-rounder (No. 52), a fifth (155), and the 2025 second, which became No. 57. The Rams were eager to move up to get defensive tackle Braden Fiske, and Morgan and Tilis were eager to recoup the second-rounder this year they were missing, the last vestige of the Bears trade from two years ago in which they acquired the pick to choose Bryce Young.

But the Panthers had their eyes on Texas running back Jonathon Brooks, and they didn't think he'd last until 52. So they started working the phones in the other direction.

Eventually, they traded that pick and two fifth-rounders (Nos. 142 and 155) to move back up to 46.

If they choose to make a deal tonight, they have the ammunition.

In addition to the Rams' second-rounder and their own third-rounder (No. 74), they have six picks on Saturday.

That includes two fourth-rounders (Nos. 111 and 114), three fifth-rounders (Nos. 140, 146, and 163), and a seventh (No. 230)

That gives them the opportunity to move if they want to.

And even though they're barely into their second draft, they've at least shown they'll consider anything.

Here's a look at the Panthers' 2025 picks as it stands now:

Their own first-rounder (No. 8 overall) — Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan
Los Angeles Rams' second-rounder (No. 57 overall)
Their own third-rounder (No. 74 overall)
Their own fourth-rounder (No. 111 overall)
Cowboys fourth-rounder (No. 114 overall)
New York Giants' fifth-rounder (No. 140 overall)
Their own fifth-rounder (No. 146 overall)
Ravens' fifth-rounder (No. 163 overall)
Cardinals' seventh-rounder (No. 230 overall)
