Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Josephs from sliding. Grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Panthers were there to profit. Joshua Josephs, the No. 44 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 83. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 19th overall pick they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They paid sticker price for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 51, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs in slot 83 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
