Draft Grade — Panthers

Larceny in pick 227 lands the Panthers a B, Skattebo and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Skattebo got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If Bryant pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 8 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at No. 54 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at pick 74 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Value said wait; Cobee Bryant in the 110th overall pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jack Bech
You do not let a wide receiver like Jack Bech reach pick No. 113 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at the 139th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in Round 5, Pick 8 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Howard Cross III graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 227 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
