Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Panthers won the night they stopped Warren from sliding. Grade: B+.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Tyler Warren, the No. 14 name on the board, sitting there at No. 45 like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Hawes reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 14th pick they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 13, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Good price on Marcus Mbow in slot 57, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in No. 74 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 110th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
They read the board right and Jermari Harris was the payoff at pick No. 113. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Circle this one: Shemar Turner at pick 149 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at Round 5, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A wild overpay on Jackson Hawes in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in the 242nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
