The Panthers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Jack Kiser; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 44 spots ahead at Round 5, Pick 2.
That Emmanwori pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, with Jalon Walker leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 45th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick54
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at pick No. 57, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Maxwell Hairston at slot 74 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111
Rnd4
Charles Grant
Charles Grant in No. 111 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Ty Hamilton
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty Hamilton a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 124 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in No. 140 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 146, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
A tidy bit of business in the 163rd overall pick, where Mitchell Evans graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
You do not let an offensive lineman like Seth McLaughlin reach Round 6, Pick 22 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
They took Jermari Harris at par in slot 230, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
