Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Emmanwori: B+.

Somebody in No. 57 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Panthers sat still while Nick Emmanwori, the No. 20 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The Oladejo pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick No. 24 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in the 57th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick 74 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 111 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 114 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 140th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Value with a capital V on Brashard Smith in Round 5, Pick 8, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
