Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesB+ FutureB+
The Panthers robbed the room for Skattebo. Final grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Cam Skattebo sat on the board until the 229th pick, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at No. 44. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at pick No. 57 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in Round 3, Pick 10 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in the 110th overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in slot 113 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 147th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They robbed the room for Jared Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 190th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 229 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, DJ Campbell in the Round 7 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at the 249th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
