Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Panthers.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Keyron Crawford at the 51st pick, a reach of 65 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Getting Scott where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keyron Crawford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keyron Crawford in Round 2, Pick 19, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Steal is underselling it; Keionte Scott at slot 83 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at the 119th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Quintayvious Hutchins
They left a pile of value on the table to take Quintayvious Hutchins this early at the 158th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Isaiah World
The board had Isaiah World higher than pick No. 159, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Justin Jefferson
They paid sticker price for Justin Jefferson in Round 6, Pick 19, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
