Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Eyabi Okie-Anoma, 99 picks early at No. 165. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wilson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 JC Latham
Nice patience on JC Latham, who had no business lasting to the 33rd pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Roman Wilson at the 65th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
By-the-book stuff, Fabien Lovett at Round 5, Pick 5 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick165 Rnd5 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They reached a country mile for Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in slot 180 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
