Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Fairchild from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Dylan Fairchild at the 230th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They are betting Nesbit proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 5 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach pick 67 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Baron at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in the 112th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd4 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in No. 138 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 143rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in pick No. 158, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
The board fumbled Dylan Fairchild all the way to the 230th pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
