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

Call it larceny. TJ Hall sat on the board until the 255th pick, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The cost of the Green reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
By-the-book stuff, Kayden McDonald at Round 1, Pick 19 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Omar Cooper Jr. at pick No. 55, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Taking Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 83 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 119th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They left a pile of value on the table to take Taylen Green this early at slot 158. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd5 Febechi Nwaiwu
Febechi Nwaiwu at the 180th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron slipping to No. 200 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
They paid sticker price for Le'Veon Moss in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 TJ Hall
They barely believed it either: TJ Hall still on the board at pick No. 255. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
