The Panthers robbed the room for Jackson. Final grade: B. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Khyree Jackson, the No. 83 name on the board, stolen at the 101st pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Nourzad has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
No edge and no loss on Adonai Mitchell in the 33rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 65 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
You do not let a cornerback like Khyree Jackson reach No. 101 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in pick No. 142 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
They read the board right and Kitan Oladapo was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 30. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
The board had cheaper options than Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 240th overall pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
