The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tyreak Sapp; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 136 spots ahead at pick No. 139.

That Carter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a load in the middle at fair value.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 57th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Value with a capital V on Smael Mondon Jr. in the 109th overall pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in No. 112 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp in pick 139 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick 145 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in the 162nd overall pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in No. 227 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
