FutureA
Grand theft in No. 147: the Panthers steal Winston Jr. and grade out a A. The rest of the league will want that one back. Kevin Winston Jr. tumbling to the Panthers in pick No. 147 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Reaching for Jones left real value on the table behind him.
They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at slot 34 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Nice patience on Xavier Watts, who had no business lasting to No. 57. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Harold Fannin Jr. in the 74th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
They reached into another round for Sai'vion Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in Round 4, Pick 12 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 147 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jordan James
Somehow Jordan James was still sitting there in pick 164, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229
Rnd7
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 7, Pick 11 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
