Grand theft in slot 156: the Panthers steal Trigg and grade out a B-.

The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Michael Trigg fell into Round 5, Pick 16.

They will need Hobbs to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In pick 16 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at No. 48 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
A tidy bit of business in the 80th pick, where Antonio Williams graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
They paid up for Kyle Louis at slot 153 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Michael Trigg
They robbed the room for Michael Trigg here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Nice patience on Aamil Wagner, who had no business lasting to the 194th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
A wild overpay on Daevin Hobbs in pick No. 230, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
