Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
The Panthers cashed the board's mistake on Mukuba: B+.

When a board-topper like Andrew Mukuba slides to No. 140, you do not overthink it, and the Panthers did not. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Porter has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at pick No. 45. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Darien Porter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darien Porter in No. 57, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tai Felton
A straight-up fair deal on Tai Felton at the 74th pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 111 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A slide stopped in the 114th overall pick, with Jared Wilson worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
No edge and no loss on Andres Borregales in slot 146; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
