Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

The Panthers spent real capital to be 29 picks early on Jalen Thompson, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Tate falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 6th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Carnell Tate
Value with a capital V on Carnell Tate in slot 38, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Josh Moten
By-the-book stuff, Josh Moten at the 106th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at Round 5, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Malik Hartford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Hartford in pick 184. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
They talked themselves into Jalen Thompson at slot 219, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
