Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Panthers and Phillips: B.

Call it larceny. Jordan Phillips sat on the board until the 140th pick, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 8 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Fair-plus on Josaiah Stewart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor slid further than he should have, and the 74th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Steal is underselling it; Sebastian Castro at Round 4, Pick 9 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in pick No. 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Taking Jordan Phillips in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick146 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Circle this one: Anthony Belton at slot 146 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 163rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
The board had Cam Horsley higher than the 227th pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
