Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Panthers did not so much draft Princewill Umanmielen as overpay for him, 64 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Concepcion.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 16th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 KC Concepcion
They barely believed it either: KC Concepcion still on the board at pick No. 62. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in No. 80 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They jumped the gun on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at pick 117 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch slipping to slot 130 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in pick No. 155 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A reach on Aaron Graves in the 156th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick196 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at the 196th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
A premium they did not need to pay, Jamal Haynes a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
