Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Panthers, and a B to prove it.

The Panthers went off the board in a big way for Jason Henderson, 191 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lemon.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In pick No. 29 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
A reach on Arvell Reese in pick 44; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Eric Singleton Jr.
Eric Singleton Jr. at Round 2, Pick 16 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 49th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 C.J. Fite
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for C.J. Fite. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Nwankpa this early at the 154th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They reached into another round for Taylen Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson at No. 177 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 196th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss at pick No. 232 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
