Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B+.

The Theo Wease Jr. selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 89 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Landing McCord that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 24 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that.
Pick57 Rnd2 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 57th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They went early on Cam Skattebo in Round 3, Pick 10, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in No. 111 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson slipping to pick 114 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They took Emery Jones Jr. at par in the 139th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Value said wait; Jack Kiser in slot 140 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in Round 5, Pick 8 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Theo Wease Jr. this early at the 163rd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
