Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Allar is the Panthers' new face under center. Grade: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tony Rojas, 96 picks early at the 219th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They have staked the next five years on Drew Allar, which is the only story that really matters here. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Getting Nwankpa where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drew Allar
In pick 6 they get the face of the franchise, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Jake Slaughter for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in No. 70 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 106 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145 Rnd5 Trebor Pena
They reached into another round for Trebor Pena, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Value with a capital V on Xavier Nwankpa in the 184th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas at pick No. 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
