The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Mustapha: B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Panthers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mustapha. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A clean, defensible pick in the 33rd pick with a little surplus value in Keon Coleman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101
Rnd4
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at No. 101 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 168 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
They robbed the room for Malik Mustapha here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in Round 7, Pick 2 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
