Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B- to prove it.

The Panthers torched the value chart for Davin Vann, taking him 48 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
They did well to land Matthew Golden in the 17th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 17, and they pounced on premier safety value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick No. 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick81 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick 111, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in No. 140 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
They let Ty Hamilton come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Steal is underselling it; Jonas Sanker at the 163rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Davin Vann
They reached a country mile for Davin Vann at the 230th pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
