Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Panthers reached some 75 spots for Davison Igbinosun, and value like that does not grow back.

Getting Emmanwori where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 8 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach the 74th pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 110, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They reached into another round for Cobee Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zane Durant this early at Round 5, Pick 2. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick145 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A real head-scratcher, Davison Igbinosun in the 145th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kobe King
They barely believed it either: Kobe King still on the board at slot 162. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick No. 227 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
