Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B-.

The Panthers spent real capital to be 45 picks early on Eyabi Okie-Anoma, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Landing Sainristil that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A premium they did not need to pay, Chris Braswell a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at pick 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They took Patrick Paul at par in No. 65, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Mike Sainristil in the 101st pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 6, where Jamari Thrash graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at slot 166 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at No. 240 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
