Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Panthers would have aced it. Makari Vickers at No. 235 is 76 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Allen at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Arvell Reese at Round 1, Pick 19 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, CJ Allen at pick 51. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Trinidad Chambliss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trinidad Chambliss in slot 83, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
No drama and no debate, Michael Trigg went about where he belonged in the 119th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in pick No. 156 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
They liked Pat Coogan enough to skip the value, taking him in the 157th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at No. 198 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Makari Vickers
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Makari Vickers well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
