Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Taulia Tagovailoa in the 222nd overall pick, a good 163 spots before the room expected him.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Egbuka at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at slot 33. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Guyton at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
They paid sticker price for Luke Lachey in the 101st overall pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
They took Sataoa Laumea at par in the 138th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Nothing to complain about; Zy Alexander went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cody Schrader in pick 182. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They talked themselves into Taulia Tagovailoa at No. 222, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
