Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Anto Saka, 32 picks early at pick 83. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 19th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Anto Saka
This one needs a full-page explanation: Anto Saka in pick No. 83, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Terrance Carter Jr.
A big swing on Terrance Carter Jr. at No. 119, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 17, with Drew Allar worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They did well to land Max Iheanachor in slot 158, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bud Clark at pick 200. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh at the 235th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
