Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

The Nadame Tucker selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 47 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Lemon pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Makai Lemon in the 19th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 LT Overton
LT Overton in pick 51 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at No. 83 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
A wild overpay on Nadame Tucker in pick No. 119, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
