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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Panthers took Phillip Webb at pick No. 232, roughly 76 spots before his name belonged.

On value alone, Walker makes the weekend a net positive. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Somehow Jack Sawyer was still sitting there in No. 50, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Majors this early at the Round 3 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Willie Lampkin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Willie Lampkin well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jared Ivey
Taking Jared Ivey in pick No. 113 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
They barely believed it either: Jordan Burch still on the board at Round 5, Pick 1. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A conviction pick on DeMonte Capehart at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick155 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
The board fumbled Harold Perkins Jr. all the way to pick No. 155, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 David Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, David Walker in slot 220, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in pick 232 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
