Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Panthers let Manning fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Arch Manning got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at slot 70. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The cost of the Nwankpa reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyreak Sapp
A reach for Tyreak Sapp in pick 20; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jake Slaughter at the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick54 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at the 54th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Arch Manning
Arch Manning in pick No. 70 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
They robbed the room for Malachi Fields here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at No. 120 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in the 145th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 184 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena at Round 7, Pick 3 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
