Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

There is a lot to like until you notice linebacker is still a hole. The Panthers never got to the one that mattered most.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In pick No. 6 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Sam Leavitt
They took Sam Leavitt at par in No. 38, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Bud Clark
By-the-book stuff, Bud Clark at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in Round 4, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Deion Burks
No edge and no loss on Deion Burks in the 145th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
A straight-up fair deal on Peyton Bowen at the 184th pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Javien Toviano
No drama and no debate, Javien Toviano went about where he belonged in pick 219. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
