Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers found their guy under center in Sellers: B-.

The search is over. The Panthers handed the keys to LaNorris Sellers, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The Moore reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In pick No. 6 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at the 38th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in pick 70 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
A real head-scratcher, Derrick Moore in slot 106 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145 Rnd5 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at Round 5, Pick 7 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Khalil Barnes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khalil Barnes this early at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
