Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
Carter should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Barrett Carter got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 8.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to the 44th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 57 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 74th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They read the board right and Jake Majors was the payoff at pick 109. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas is a better player than Round 4, Pick 11 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Noel at No. 139 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick No. 145 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach No. 162 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Taking Willie Lampkin in slot 191 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in pick 227 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
