Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Panthers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Shilo Sanders at No. 230 regardless, 61 picks early.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

The Hampton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in the 57th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 David Walker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, David Walker well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Billy Bowman Jr. at pick No. 111, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
No drama and no debate, Anthony Belton went about where he belonged in pick 114. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Ty Robinson in the 146th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
A conviction pick on Jake Briningstool at slot 163 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They talked themselves into Oronde Gadsden II at No. 172, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
No edge and no loss on LaJohntay Wester in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
