The Carolina Panthers have a dilemma. They're 0-3 to start the season and appear to be headed to the top of the 2024 NFL Draft. The only problem: The Carolina Panthers don't own their 2024 first-round pick. It belongs to Chicago Bears, thanks to the Panthers trading up to No. 1 to draft Bryce Young. But how big of an issue is not having a first-round pick? Especially when the Panthers have struggled to find consistent starters and depth pieces in the Day 2 and 3 of the draft. Julian Council discusses the fallacy surrounding the Panthers not having a first-round pick.

What way the Panthers can recoup a pick in 2024 is the trade Pro Bowler edge rusher Brian Burns. The Panthers are aware of his value after turning down several trade offers for his services. Is this the right path for the Panthers to improve their roster in 2024? How long would it take to acquire a player of Burns caliber?

When should Bryce Young play again? When he's healthy or should it be once the offense has more stability around him?

Julian Council answers these questions among other listener questions in this week's edition of the Weekly Wednesday Mailbag on Locked On Panthers.
