Panthers add more firepower at premium position in 2027 NFL mock draft
The Carolina Panthers are projected to bolster their already strong cornerback group in the 2027 NFL Draft. A CBS Sports mock draft has them selecting Georgia's Ellis Robinson IV with the No. 11 overall pick. The move aligns with GM Dan Morgan's strategy of strengthening the secondary despite other positional needs.
- ▪Two-time Pro Bowler Jaycee Horn and emerging Mike Jackson currently lead the Panthers' cornerback unit.
- ▪The Panthers already added Will Lee III and Zakee Wheatley to the secondary in the 2026 draft.
- ▪Ellis Robinson IV, projected to be selected, recorded four interceptions and seven pass defenses in 2025.
