Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

The tape said wait; the Panthers did not. Trey Moore went at slot 145, a good 112 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Landing Etienne that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. It is not that Walker is a bad player; it is that the Panthers had louder needs to answer first.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham in Round 1, Pick 12 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell is a better player than the 54th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Deone Walker at interior defensive lineman with quarterback open.
Pick74 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
By-the-book stuff, Jake Majors at No. 86 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tory Horton
No edge and no loss on Tory Horton in pick 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick 113 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
They paid up for Michael Taaffe at slot 139 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They reached into another round for Trey Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oscar Delp well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
You do not let a running back like Trevor Etienne reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
