Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

FutureA+
The Panthers won the night they stopped Amos from sliding. Grade: A. The Panthers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Trey Amos fell into slot 229.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.
Reaching for Fitzgerald left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jahdae Barron and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
The board had Jahdae Barron higher than slot 25, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59
Rnd2
Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart in the 59th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to pick 76, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at the 91st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Skattebo at pick No. 110. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at No. 113 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141
Rnd5
Ryan Fitzgerald
A reach for Ryan Fitzgerald in Round 5, Pick 2; a little patience would have been rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick147
Rnd5
James Burnip
No drama and no debate, James Burnip went about where he belonged in No. 147. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick164
Rnd5
T.J. Sanders
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, T.J. Sanders in pick 164, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick190
Rnd6
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They barely believed it either: Demetrius Knight Jr. still on the board at pick No. 190. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205
Rnd6
Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at Round 6, Pick 27 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229
Rnd7
Trey Amos
A cornerback of that caliber at the 229th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
