Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Winston Jr.: A.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 104 name on the board, stolen at the Round 5 slot. Very little went wrong, and the A is earned.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The veteran additions, Caelen Carson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tyler Warren and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach pick 33 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick No. 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at slot 67 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 74th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 110th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick113 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at Round 4, Pick 12 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Quinn Ewers
The board fumbled Quinn Ewers all the way to No. 141, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 147 is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Steal is underselling it; Woody Marks at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
