The Panthers turned the phones into found money: B. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Panthers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Tee Higgins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nesbit. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In No. 1 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick65
Rnd3
Bryson Nesbit
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bryson Nesbit at the 65th pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97
Rnd4
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in the 97th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108
Rnd4
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
