CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dan Morgan had executed a pair of trades — one involving four pick swaps — and hadn’t slept much.
So forgive the Carolina Panthers’ general manager if he couldn’t recall his team’s first pick in Saturday’s fourth round (No. 114) after finishing up with reporters late Friday.
“I have to check the board,” Morgan joked.
All five of the Panthers’ remaining picks once belonged to others teams: a Cowboys’ fourth (114), a Broncos’ fourth (122), a Giants’ fifth (140), a Ravens’ fifth (163) and a Broncos’ sixth (208). And given his track record, expect Morgan to move around again Saturday.
Wherever the Panthers end up picking, here’s a look at some players they could be targeting.
(All player rankings based on Dane Brugler’s top 300 prospects list)
Day 3 targets
Safeties
85. Billy Bowman Jr., Oklahoma
Bowman led the Big 12 with six interceptions in 2023, including three he returned for touchdowns. The Athletic’s draft expert Dane Brugler called Bowman “among the best safeties in this class in terms of football IQ, movement skills and competitive urgency.”
113. Lathan Ransom, Ohio State
Ransom was a three-year starter for the Buckeyes, working mostly as a free safety. He had two seasons with at least 74 tackles at Ohio State and is a strong defender in the run game. Brugler believes that Ransom has “matchup potential against tight ends to become an NFL starter.”
130. Malachi Moore, Alabama
Moore was a four-year starter for the Crimson Tide and recorded seven interceptions over five college seasons. Brugler called him “a tough, instinctive player who can defend the run and play with just enough range in coverage. He projects best as a post or half-field safety in zone.”
133. Jaylen Reed, Penn State
Reed was the leading tackler for the Nittany Lions in 2024 and tallied five interceptions over the past two seasons. While known as an enforcer on the backend, his inconsistent in tackling could hold him back.
167. Maxen Hook, Toledo
172. Dante Trader Jr., Maryland
Cornerbacks
94. Quincy Riley, Louisville
Riley had eight interceptions in three years at Louisville and led the ACC with 13 pass breakups in 2024. Brugler notes that Riley’s nose for the football should make him an immediate contributor with starter upside.
125. Dorian Strong, Virginia Tech
149. Bilhal Kone, Western Michigan
189. Korie Black, Oklahoma State
193. Zy Alexander, LSU
Defensive tackles
76. Joshua Farmer, Florida State
91. Ty Hamilton, Ohio State
118. Cam Jackson, Florida
At 6-foot-6, 328 pounds, Jackson is tough in the run game and can eat up blockers as a potential nose tackle.
127. Deone Walker, Kentucky
One of the biggest players in the draft, it’s easy to imagine the 6-7, 331-pound Walker clogging running lanes in Ejiro Evero’s 3-4 defense.
161. JJ Pegues, Ole Miss
227. Warren Brinson, Georgia
274. Tonka Hemingway, South Carolina
Linebackers
87. Danny Stutsman, Oklahoma
Stutsman was a tackling machine for the Sooners with three consecutive seasons of over 100 tackles, while racking up 35 tackles for loss in that span.
98. Jeffrey Bassa, Oregon
Bassa was the defensive leader for the Ducks and had a strong Senior Bowl, where he was in charge of the huddles for the National Team. A former safety, he offers upside as he continues to grow in the position.
156. Cody Simon, LB, Ohio State
194. Shemar James, LB, Florida
James, a team captain his final season in Gainesville, won’t turn 21 until late June.
222. Eugene Asante, LB, Auburn
Morgan’s seventh-round LB pick last year didn’t last long, although Michael Barrett netted them CB Mike Jackson in a trade with Seattle. Asante tallied 133 tackles and 7 1/2 sacks over his final two seasons.
Tight ends
95. Gunnar Helm, Texas
131. Oronde Gadsden II, Syracuse
First-team, All-ACC pick last year after hauling in 73 passes for 934 yards and seven TDs.
134. Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame
187. Jake Briningstool, Clemson
Annual reminder that the Panthers have never drafted a Clemson player. So Briningstool could make history.
192. Moliki Matavao, UCLA
Running backs
96. Trevor Etienne, Georgia
111. Jarquez Hunter, Auburn
The compactly built Hunter (5-9, 204 pounds) was a state-champion power lifter in high school who rushed for a combined 2,000 yards over his final two seasons at Auburn.
136. Ollie Gordon II, Oklahoma State
Gordon was one of three Day-3 running backs who reportedly had pre-draft visits with the Panthers. It makes sense, given Jonathon Brooks’ uncertain future and Rico Dowdle’s one-year contract.
138. Devin Neal, Kansas
Offensive line
110. Seth McLaughlin, C, Ohio State
McLaughlin won the Remington Trophy, awarded to the nation’s top center, despite suffering a ruptured Achilles in November. The 2025 season maybe a redshirt season in the pros for him, but there is intriguing upside as a long-term option at center.
141. Drew Kendall, C, Boston College
168. Logan Brown, OT, Kansas
177. Joshua Gray, G/C, Oregon State
184. Carson Vinson, OT, Alabama A&M
Vinson has a huge frame (6-7, 314) and will need some fine-tuning at the next level. The Morrisville, N.C., native is hoping to become Alabama A&M’s first drafted player since 2011.
200. Hollin Pierce, OT, Rutgers

Cruzeiro e Vasco fazem duelo de SAFs em reformulação e com diferença de gastos que não se vê na tabela
O Vasco visita o Cruzeiro às 16h em Uberlândia no duelo entre duas SAFs em reestruturação. Apesar do modelo de gestão distinto e de uma política de gastos bem diferente para a formação de equipes competitivas, os dois clubes amargam o meio da tabela do Brasileirão e sofrem com críticas de suas torcidas. Depois de o Vasco pedir recuperação judicial para aliviar as despesas para administrar a SAF — há um ano o clube está sob controle do associativo e do presidente Pedrinho, ainda sob liminar da Justiça do Rio contra a 777 Partners — a direção investiu de forma controlada em reforços, que somados aos atletas mais caros que já estavam no clube tentam cumprir bom papel. Hoje o time ocupa a nona posição. Foram 7,5 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 45 milhões) gastos pela diretoria até abril, […]

Noční děkovačka mistrů! Na fotbalisty Slavie čekaly v noci u Edenu stovky fanoušků
Když před nedělní druhou hodinou ranní vystoupili Chorý a spol. z vlaku na zastávce u Edenu, mohli nabýt dojmu, že Praha právě slaví příchod nového roku. Oblohu i podchod od stanice ke stadionu ozařovaly světlice.Příznivci vytvořili hráčům a realizačnímu týmu tradiční uličku slávy, se svými hrdiny si plácali a skandovali jejich jména. Vystřihli několikrát také oslavný chorál vítězů „Tak jsme první no a co“.Než slávisté vklouzli do stadionu, kapitán Jan Bořil, obklopený fanoušky, vedl známou pozápasovou děkovačku. Příznivci po ní ještě pár minut vyvolávali jména čerstvých mistrů, kteří v té chvíli už pokračovali v mistrovských oslavách v útrobách Edenu. Vítězný pohár dostanou slávisté po závěrečném duelu nadstavby, po domácím utkání s Baníkem Ostrava (v sobotu 24. května). Mistrovské oslavy zažívají červenobílí po čtyřech letech.
2025 NBA playoffs: How the Warriors stepped up to take Game 3 without Jimmy Butler
SAN FRANCISCO — Game 3 of the Golden State Warriors' first-round series with the Houston Rockets on Saturday was nothing short of a slugfest. They took part in a physical battle all night with bodies hitting the floor from the opening tip through the final buzzer.Missing Jimmy Butler, the Warriors relied on their depth and defense, while the Rockets couldn't contain Stephen Curry or buy a bucket late in the contest. By night's end, one team's poise and a familiar superstar's brilliance proved to be the difference as Golden State secured a 104-93 victory and a 2-1 series lead.Another 'Stephortless' performanceCurry did that thing where he takes over a game in its most pivotal moments — hitting dagger 3s, converting crafty layups and exploiting any mismatch on a big.Game 3 was no different. While both teams had their struggles early […]
Cardinals 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Building a dominant D one pick at a time
General manager Monti Ossenfort insisted the Arizona Cardinals didn’t enter the NFL Draft with intentions to load up on defense — that’s just how their board fell. That might be the case, but the results don’t lie. Over the last three days, Arizona positioned itself for an immediate defensive upgrade.AdvertisementThrough five rounds, it was almost as if no other needs mattered. Offensive line? Not this early. Wide receiver? Not this weekend. The Cardinals selected Ole Miss defensive tackle Walter Nolen at 16. “Come out here and get after the quarterback,” Ossenfort told him on the phone.) They took Michigan corner Will Johnson at 47. (“Come help us win some games,” head coach Jonathan Gannon told him.)In the third round, the Cardinals took Oregon edge rusher Jordan Burch. In the fourth, Ohio State linebacker Cody Simon. In the fifth, Ohio State […]
