The Panthers turned the phones into found money: B+. Whoever sat across the table from the Panthers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
If Hawes pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. However the rest shakes out, Williams at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In slot 17 they get a rangy last line of defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick74
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Good price on Carson Schwesinger in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 111th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tez Johnson at No. 114. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty Robinson in Round 5, Pick 2, miles early. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick146
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
They will replay Nohl Williams at the 146th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 163, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
They talked themselves into Jackson Hawes at pick No. 230, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
