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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jamari Thrash, slot 164, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in No. 33 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia is a better player than Round 3, Pick 1 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Graham Barton
They took Graham Barton at par in slot 101, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at the 138th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in pick No. 164 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Steve Linton
Steve Linton in pick 180 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Caden Prieskorn
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caden Prieskorn in the Round 7 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
