Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Panthers bet big and early on Anthony Lucas, 44 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Scott pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick No. 19 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
They reached into another round for Anthony Lucas, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A quiet steal in No. 83: Keionte Scott for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
They did well to land Jaishawn Barham in the 119th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
A slide stopped in slot 156, with Jalen Stroman worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
They talked themselves into Pat Coogan at the 157th pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
They jumped the gun on Isaiah Jatta, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, J. Michael Sturdivant at the 235th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
