Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Panthers.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Daevin Hobbs; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 47 spots ahead at slot 192.

Getting Johnson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In pick 10 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in pick No. 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick76 Rnd3 Anto Saka
A wild overpay on Anto Saka in No. 76, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at Round 4, Pick 11 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Chris Johnson
They barely believed it either: Chris Johnson still on the board at the 149th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Eric Rivers in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Daevin Hobbs in the 192nd pick, miles early. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Alex Birchmeier
Alex Birchmeier at pick 230 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
