Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Panthers, and a C+ to match.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent slot 111 on Barryn Sorrell, a name most had 56 spots down the list. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on Jack Sawyer that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In slot 8 they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in pick 57 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omarr Norman-Lott. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick111 Rnd4 Barryn Sorrell
Value said wait; Barryn Sorrell in pick No. 111 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tai Felton at the 114th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
No edge and no loss on Malachi Moore in No. 140; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 146 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 163 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ethan Downs. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
