2025 NFL draft: 25 Best remaining prospects for Panthers to target on Day 3

It's not difficult to see what the Carolina Panthers had in mind going into the early rounds of the 2025 NFL draft. After scoring Bryce Young a big, shiny new weapon with consensus WR1 Tetairoa McMillan, the Panthers followed it up by landing a pair of strong edge prospects (Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen) to boost their pass rush.

What comes next for the Panthers? We should probably expect a safety pick early on Day 3 given their need for another potential starter next to Tre'Von Moehrig. A running back should also probably be on the menu given the unfortunate situation with Jonathon Brooks and tight end should be a non-netogiatable must-have. You can also make a case for depth picks at offensive and defensive tackle, linebacker and cornerback.

Let's see who the top remaining prospects are going into Day 3 - keeping in mind that the Panthers probably won't be taking another edge or another wide receiver and that they're out of the market for a quarterback right now. Here's who ESPN ranks at the top of Carolina's potential targeted positions.
