Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Panthers won the night they stopped Etienne from sliding. Grade: C.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Trevor Etienne, the No. 224 name on the board, stolen at the 257th overall pick. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Every board in the league had Fortune lower, and that gap is the story.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
No drama and no debate, James Pearce Jr. went about where he belonged in the 8th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Aireontae Ersery in the 65th pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malachi Moore in pick No. 110. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
They paid up for O'Donnell Fortune at Round 4, Pick 12 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They barely believed it either: Jared Wilson still on the board at slot 141. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
They robbed the room for Robert Spears-Jennings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Xavier Scott
A quiet steal in No. 181: Xavier Scott for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
A running back of that caliber at the 257th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
