Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Panthers this weekend: B.

The Panthers torched the value chart for Trey Wedig, taking him 128 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Landing Higgins that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will answer for taking interior defensive lineman early while safety and running back went begging.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the 40th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Nic Scourton adds an interior defensive lineman and leaves safety and running back untouched.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 48 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Haynes King
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Haynes King well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 106 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A big swing on Cobee Bryant at slot 140, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 145th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ar'maj Reed-Adams this early at No. 159. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168 Rnd5 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig at Round 5, Pick 30 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Brennan Presley
They talked themselves into Brennan Presley at pick 169, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
