Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Panthers won the night they stopped Felton from sliding. Grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tai Felton slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at slot 127. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Panthers paired the rookies with proven help, Tee Higgins leading the way.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 14th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in slot 57; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at No. 110 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in Round 4, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at pick 127 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
They robbed the room for Jordan Phillips here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Taking Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 164 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
