Mock draft projects LSU tight end Trey'Dez Green to the Carolina Panthers

Carolina Panthers roster planning for the 2027 season is already underway as the team considers long-term upgrades at tight end. While the organization recently added Darren Waller, his age suggests he serves as a temporary stopgap for an offense aiming to support quarterback Bryce Young. A new mock draft from CBS Sports projects the team using their first-round pick on LSU tight end Trey'Dez Green. The 6-foot-7, 242-pound prospect recorded 33 catches for 433 yards and seven touchdowns during his time with the Tigers. The selection seeks to provide more receiving targets for Young as Tommy Tremble enters the final year of his current contract. Improving red-zone performance remains a specific area of focus for the franchise after ranking 14th in that category last season.
