Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Panthers put a flag in the ground for Michael Harris, 270 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Landing Ponds that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick No. 19 they get a No. 1 receiver, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in the 51st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Michael Harris
Value said wait; Michael Harris in the 83rd overall pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dani Dennis-Sutton
You do not let an edge rusher like Dani Dennis-Sutton reach No. 119 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 Barion Brown
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barion Brown well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 D'Angelo Ponds
Steal is underselling it; D'Angelo Ponds at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jalen Huskey
Jalen Huskey at pick No. 200 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
