Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-.

The war room fell hard for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, and it showed at pick 163: 29 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Tuimoloau pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 8th pick they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
Nice patience on JT Tuimoloau, who had no business lasting to the 57th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ashton Gillotte this early at the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A clean, defensible pick in pick 111 with a little surplus value in Tory Horton. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A conviction pick on Cobee Bryant at No. 114 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They liked Tyler Baron enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 2. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
They went early on Jah Joyner in the 146th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in No. 163 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick 230 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
