Daniels should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B+. The real work happened on the phones. The Panthers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
On value alone, Daniels makes the weekend a net positive. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Henry To'oTo'o gives the group a proven body among the projects. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In the 27th pick they get a true top target, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sonny Styles in No. 47. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
The board fumbled Jake Slaughter all the way to slot 63, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
A quiet steal in the 83rd overall pick: Keionte Scott for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119
Rnd4
Earl Little Jr.
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Earl Little Jr. worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
By-the-book stuff, DeMonte Capehart at Round 5, Pick 19 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207
Rnd6
CJ Daniels
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 26 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235
Rnd7
Amare Campbell
Amare Campbell in the 235th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255
Rnd7
Ricardo Hallman
No drama and no debate, Ricardo Hallman went about where he belonged in No. 255. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
