Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Panthers this weekend: B+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Panthers spent No. 251 on Will Sheppard, a name the board had a full 84 spots lower.

The Wilson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 23rd pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle Kennard this early at pick No. 49. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick54 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at Round 2, Pick 22 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A reach for Deone Walker in slot 57; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick74 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Arroyo at pick 74, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in No. 85 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jayden Higgins in the 110th overall pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jackson at the 113th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at pick No. 141. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They paid a round early for Andres Borregales in No. 147, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at pick 229 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in slot 251 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
