Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Larceny in Round 5, Pick 8 lands the Panthers a A-, Skattebo and all.

Call it larceny. Cam Skattebo sat on the board until pick No. 147, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Williams pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tyler Warren and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 25th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A slide stopped in the 57th pick, with Xavier Watts worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at pick 58, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick74 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maxwell Hairston. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Good price on Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 110, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at slot 113 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 147 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
You do not let a cornerback like O'Donnell Fortune reach No. 164 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at slot 167 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams at Round 7, Pick 11 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
