Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Panthers robbed the room for Neal. Final grade: A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Devin Neal got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at the 217th pick.

Every board in the league had Rogers lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick No. 11 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at slot 39 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
The board had Luther Burden III higher than Round 2, Pick 13, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Good price on Tyler Warren in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick 70 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A real head-scratcher, Deone Walker in No. 75 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 102nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in the 139th pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
You do not let a linebacker like Deontae Lawson reach pick 143 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at slot 159 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217 Rnd7 Devin Neal
Taking Devin Neal in the 217th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Will Rogers
Will Rogers in pick No. 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
