Draft Grade — Panthers

The Panthers won the night they stopped Higgins from sliding. Grade: C. The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jay Higgins fell into pick No. 147. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.
Every board in the league had Stewart lower, and that gap is the story. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47
Rnd2
Trey Amos
They reached a country mile for Trey Amos at the 47th pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50
Rnd2
Shemar Stewart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shemar Stewart well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaeden Roberts a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
Circle this one: Jay Higgins at pick No. 147 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162
Rnd5
Antwane Wells Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwane Wells Jr. this early at No. 162. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in the 194th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jay Toia
Value said wait; Jay Toia in Round 7, Pick 42 says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
