Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureC
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Stout: B-.

The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Upton Stout fell into slot 218. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Wilson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 45 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 74 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel is a better player than the 111th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at pick 114 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
The board had Bhayshul Tuten higher than the 163rd overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Upton Stout
They barely believed it either: Upton Stout still on the board at slot 218. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A conviction pick on Ty Hamilton at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
