We won’t cover every pick here, but there is a notable quarterback move in Round 3, as the Panthers snag Garrett Nussmeier at pick 83 to perhaps put a tiny bit of pressure on Bryce Yong in what is going to be a major fourth year for him.

There was also a major run on safeties, with five prospects going between picks 86 and 95. In this year’s draft, there is a ton of value to be had here in the third round, so expect more starters than you think from this group.
