FutureA+
Barton should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a A-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Lander Barton, the 143rd pick, roughly 53 picks past where he belonged. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Bailey left real value on the table behind him. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Benjamin Morrison
In slot 26 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
They did well to land Landon Jackson in No. 38, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jay Higgins
A reach on Jay Higgins in the 64th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78
Rnd3
Fernando Carmona
No edge and no loss on Fernando Carmona in the 78th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
A quiet steal in pick 96: Malachi Moore for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at Round 4, Pick 3 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Lander Barton
Steal is underselling it; Lander Barton at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147
Rnd5
Barion Brown
Barion Brown at pick No. 147 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150
Rnd5
David Bailey
They paid up for David Bailey at the 150th pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183
Rnd6
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick 183 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200
Rnd6
Trey Moore
Nothing to complain about; Trey Moore went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijhah Badger in slot 221. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jason Henderson
A tidy little value on Jason Henderson in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255
Rnd7
Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart in Round 7, Pick 41 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
