Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC- FutureB+
The Panthers robbed the room for Kilgore. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jalon Kilgore got past him. The Panthers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 119.

The Elarms-Orr pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
They read the board right and Kenyon Sadiq was the payoff at slot 29. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 51, where Emmanuel Pregnon graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Malachi Fields for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They barely believed it either: Jalon Kilgore still on the board at No. 119. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
A clean, defensible pick in the 158th overall pick with a little surplus value in Zxavian Harris. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kaleb Elarms-Orr in Round 5, Pick 19, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
