Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B-.

Nobody else had Vincent Anthony Jr. anywhere near the 153rd pick. The Panthers did, by 41 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In pick No. 17 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Romello Height
Romello Height in the 49th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Julian Neal
A reach for Julian Neal in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in No. 117 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Vincent Anthony Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
They reached a country mile for Eric O'Neill at Round 5, Pick 17, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Rasheem Biles
They paid a round early for Rasheem Biles in slot 195, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Khalil Barnes
Khalil Barnes at pick 231 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
