Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Horton: B+.

Somebody in Round 5, Pick 25 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Panthers sat still while Tory Horton, the No. 109 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick 20 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 26th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy little value on Jihaad Campbell in No. 45, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid a round early for Charles Grant in pick No. 74, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Steal is underselling it; Gunnar Helm at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in Round 4, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 122nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in slot 140 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Joshua Farmer in the 146th pick, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at slot 163 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at Round 6, Pick 15 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Donovan Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Smith. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams at pick No. 230 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
