Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Savaiinaea: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jonah Savaiinaea, the No. 45 name on the board, stolen at slot 114. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They are betting Diggs proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 14th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in Round 2, Pick 26 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
By-the-book stuff, Maxwell Hairston at the 74th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Grant at slot 88, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 114 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They barely believed it either: Savion Williams still on the board at pick No. 117. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 140 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick146 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Value with a capital V on Brashard Smith in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid a round early for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 163, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at the 166th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in pick No. 230 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
