Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 227th overall pick lands the Panthers a B+, Skattebo and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cam Skattebo had no business being available in slot 227, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Nash pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 12 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick54 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach pick 54 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 74, where Alfred Collins graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in slot 110 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Nash this early at the 139th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at the 145th overall pick 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.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 O'Donnell Fortune
This one needs a full-page explanation: O'Donnell Fortune in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 227 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
