Barton should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Lander Barton, the No. 132 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 5 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Princely Umanmielen in the 48th pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 70th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick106 Rnd4 Xavier Watts
A safety of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 5 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
The board fumbled Deontae Lawson all the way to pick 114, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They did well to land Oronde Gadsden II in No. 140, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They barely believed it either: Donovan Ezeiruaku still on the board at the Round 5 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 159, where Parker Brailsford graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Circle this one: Lander Barton at pick 221 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at slot 230 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
