Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB- TradesC FutureA+
Skattebo should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Skattebo slide, and the Panthers were the ones holding the card at the Round 6 slot. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 26 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. More want than need.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at the 74th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick 110 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at No. 113 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Taking Carson Schwesinger in the 123rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach slot 126 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Somehow Ryan Fitzgerald was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier specialist value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick147 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Danny Stutsman in the 164th pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to slot 200, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229 Rnd7 Lander Barton
They barely believed it either: Lander Barton still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
