Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Panthers spent the 111th overall pick on Oronde Gadsden II, a name the board had a full 83 spots lower.

The Starks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

The Dexter Lawrence II pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slid further than he should have, and pick 34 is lovely value for the linebacker. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Kennard. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A quiet steal in pick No. 89: Omarr Norman-Lott for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 111th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 LeQuint Allen
They went early on LeQuint Allen in the 121st pick, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 163, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger at pick No. 241 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
