Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Panthers shredded theirs for Miles Frazier. He came off 76 spots early, and the room will hear about it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

On value alone, Kiner makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
The board had Tyleik Williams higher than pick No. 57, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in slot 74 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in the 113th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Woody Marks
A wild overpay on Woody Marks in the 141st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tory Horton
They will replay Tory Horton at No. 147 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
A quiet steal in No. 150: Aeneas Peebles for less than the market said. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick164 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jabbar Muhammad in the 190th pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner at slot 229 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
