Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
Grand theft in the 141st pick: the Panthers steal Wilson and grade out a B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jared Wilson tumbling to the Panthers in the 141st overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Reaching for Stout left real value on the table behind him. The Tee Higgins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick 17 they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They let Jihaad Campbell come to them and pounced at the 49th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marcus Mbow in No. 57. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 110 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
They took Terrance Ferguson at par in the 113th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jared Wilson in Round 5, Pick 2, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
They barely believed it either: Jacob Parrish still on the board at pick No. 147. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Upton Stout
They paid up for Upton Stout at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
By-the-book stuff, LaJohntay Wester at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
