Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Panthers.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Barryn Sorrell at the 163rd overall pick is 152 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The Emmanwori value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick 8 they get the heartbeat of the defense, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in No. 57 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A tidy little value on Jayden Higgins in slot 74, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in the 111th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Smael Mondon Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick No. 140 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at Round 5, Pick 8 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barryn Sorrell in the 163rd pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Logan Parr
They reached into another round for Logan Parr, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
