Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB+
The Panthers robbed the room for Gordon II. Final grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ollie Gordon II, the 227th pick, roughly 62 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They are betting Arroyo proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The veteran additions, Deebo Samuel chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 8 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach No. 57 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at Round 3, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
They took Daylen Everette at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in the 139th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijah Arroyo. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A tidy bit of business in pick 162, where DeMonte Capehart graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick200 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They went early on Seth McLaughlin in slot 200, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
