Draft Grade — Panthers

FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Panthers for Knight Jr.: B. The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Demetrius Knight Jr. fell into slot 147.
They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Fortune reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In pick 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They let Jihaad Campbell come to them and pounced at No. 57. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73
Rnd3
Tre Harris
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at pick No. 73. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110
Rnd4
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
A conviction pick on O'Donnell Fortune at Round 4, Pick 12 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the 121st pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147
Rnd5
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 147 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
