Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

FutureB-
The Panthers let Skattebo fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Skattebo, the No. 99 name on the board, stolen at pick 186. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Burke proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In pick 32 they get a two-high chess piece, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at pick No. 44 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57
Rnd2
Deone Walker
A reach for Deone Walker in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in No. 74 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
Steal is underselling it; Carson Schwesinger at the 109th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 112th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Nick Nash
They jumped the gun on Nick Nash, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ryan Fitzgerald
They barely believed it either: Ryan Fitzgerald still on the board at the 145th overall pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in pick No. 162, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
The board fumbled Jonah Monheim all the way to No. 227, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
