The best teams around the NFL tend to double down on their roster strengths, turning good units into dominant ones over time as they develop into championship contenders.
Although the Carolina Panthers' roster still has a ton of work to do before they join that conversation, they have at least a couple of spots that are starting to look awfully good compared to the competition.
Let's review each position group on the Panthers' roster right now, ranking them from best to worst going into 2026.
The Panthers are paying for the most expensive offensive line in the league this year, and they should be getting their money's worth.
This offseason, general manager Dan Morgan went out of his way to upgrade this unit's depth—bulking up the blindside by signing former Green Bay Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker and drafting Georgia’s Monroe Freeling with this year’s 19th overall pick. He also added veteran Luke Fortner and fifth-rounder Sam Hecht at center.
