Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 229th overall pick: the Panthers steal Milum and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Wyatt Milum at slot 229 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 57 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
The board fumbled Jahdae Barron all the way to Round 3, Pick 10, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at slot 110 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at No. 113 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tre Harris
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at the 141st overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 147th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick164 Rnd5 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 164 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 229th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
