Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Panthers reached some 47 spots for David Walker, and value like that does not grow back.

The Emmanwori value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham in No. 8 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 57 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick 74 is lovely value for the linebacker. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 David Walker
They reached a country mile for David Walker at slot 110, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They let Kevin Winston Jr. come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 12. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A straight-up fair deal on Pat Bryant at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
They jumped the gun on Dorian Strong, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick 164 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in No. 229 is fair value, right on his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
