FutureA-
The Panthers finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A-. Thirty-one other rooms let Conner Weigman slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 178. Highway robbery.
Quinn Ewers gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. White has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, with Quinn Ewers leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Quinn Ewers
In No. 12 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
No edge and no loss on Ashton Gillotte in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
T.J. Sanders
They robbed the room for T.J. Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jordan White
Jordan White at the 142nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at slot 146 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178
Rnd6
Conner Weigman
The board fumbled Conner Weigman all the way to Round 6, Pick 3, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216
Rnd7
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 216 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jack Velling
A conviction pick on Jack Velling at the 234th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
