Best prospects remaining after first night of 2022 draft

Malik Willis

CHARLOTTE - The Panthers stayed put at six and drafted Ikem Ekwonu on Thursday night, filling a massive need on the offensive line and bringing home a local product who's been described as a "coach's dream."

However, since they didn't make any trades last night, the Panthers do not currently have a pick in Friday's second and third rounds.

General manager Scott Fitterer set a franchise record for draft-weekend trades last year, so anything can happen on Friday. Which means it's time to look at which prospects are still available

According to NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah, the top prospects on the board this morning are Georgia linebacker Nakobe Dean and Liberty quarterback Malik Willis. A little further down his prospect list is Mississippi quarterback Matt Corral.

ESPN.com has a similar prospect list with Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth listed as the third-best remaining prospect behind Dean and Willis.

Check out some of Jeremiah's best prospects remaining below:
