The Panthers won the night they stopped Klubnik from sliding. Grade: A. The rest of the league will want that one back. Cade Klubnik tumbling to the Panthers in the 147th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Every board in the league had Higgins lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Princely Umanmielen
In No. 22 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Nic Scourton
Nice patience on Nic Scourton, who had no business lasting to pick No. 38. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49
Rnd2
Deontae Lawson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deontae Lawson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 53rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
The board had Kevin Winston Jr. higher than the Round 3 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ozzy Trapilo in slot 104. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114
Rnd4
Trey Zuhn III
They took Trey Zuhn III at par in the 114th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Shavon Revel Jr.
Circle this one: Shavon Revel Jr. at pick 143 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147
Rnd5
Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at the 147th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183
Rnd6
Hunter Wohler
The board fumbled Hunter Wohler all the way to No. 183, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson at pick 221 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Dasan McCullough
Taking Dasan McCullough in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226
Rnd7
Terion Stewart
They paid a round early for Terion Stewart in pick No. 226, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
A slide stopped in the 248th overall pick, with Jimmy Horn Jr. worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
