Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 114: the Panthers steal Mukuba and grade out a B+.

The board owed the Panthers one, and it paid up: Andrew Mukuba, the No. 83 name on the board, sitting there at the 114th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Walker lower, and that gap is the story.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick74 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They liked Deone Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 74. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 111 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the 114th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
They barely believed it either: Denzel Burke still on the board at pick No. 140. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 James Burnip
They went early on James Burnip in the 146th pick, and the value did not follow. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They took Ryan Fitzgerald at par in No. 161, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
