Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Hampton. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Omarion Hampton, slot 162, roughly 147 picks past where he belonged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Every board in the league had Carter lower, and that gap is the story.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 9 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 47th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Nice patience on Colston Loveland, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kenneth Grant
Somehow Kenneth Grant was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 6, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick111 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the 111th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Harold Perkins Jr. at pick 140 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at slot 147 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in No. 162 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant at No. 222 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in slot 233 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the 256th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
