Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Panthers let Castro fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Sebastian Castro slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at slot 165. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The cost of the Moore reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
The board fumbled Emeka Egbuka all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos slid further than he should have, and pick No. 58 is lovely value for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They reached a country mile for Dylan Fairchild at slot 74, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
They will replay Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 110 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick113 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 113th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
A reach on Mitchell Evans in the 141st pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
They robbed the room for Kyle McCord here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Steal is underselling it; Sebastian Castro at pick No. 165 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A real head-scratcher, Seth McLaughlin in slot 199 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at No. 229 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
