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

The Panthers torched the value chart for Que Robinson, taking him 28 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Winston Jr..

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylin Noel at Round 2, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Burch at pick 74, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the 111th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. slipping to the 114th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kaimon Rucker
They jumped the gun on Kaimon Rucker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Baron a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Que Robinson
They reached into another round for Que Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the 230th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
