Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Panthers this weekend: A-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Panthers did exactly that with Jared Wilson in pick 143. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. However the rest shakes out, Davis at that price is a win they earned.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Mason Graham and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 12th overall pick they get a load in the middle. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jay Higgins
They talked themselves into Jay Higgins at pick 52, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
You do not let a safety like Sonny Styles reach the 68th pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A conviction pick on Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette in No. 104 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jihaad Campbell in Round 4, Pick 23. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Wilson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at slot 147 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 Quinn Carroll
A straight-up fair deal on Quinn Carroll at the 183rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kamari Wilson
They let Kamari Wilson come to them and pounced at pick 220. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
They barely believed it either: J.C. Davis still on the board at pick No. 221. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at Round 7, Pick 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
