Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Singleton: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nicholas Singleton, pick 163, roughly 62 picks past where he belonged.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in slot 57 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at No. 74 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 109 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick No. 139 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 145th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quincy Riley. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
