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

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Panthers never got to the one that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Orange. Every board in the league had Altmyer lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A tidy little value on Dillon Thieneman in slot 51, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at pick 83 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick119 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Value with a capital V on Chris Johnson in No. 119, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse at the 156th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
They paid a round early for Terion Stewart in pick No. 158, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Luke Altmyer
They paid up for Luke Altmyer at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Fair-plus on Barion Brown, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
