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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Panthers took Davison Igbinosun a full 68 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Warren pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 8th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Nice patience on Xavier Watts, who had no business lasting to pick 57. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 74 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at the 109th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at Round 5, Pick 2 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 8 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 162nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at No. 227 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
