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

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Panthers left linebacker untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Sinnott steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 32 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the 65th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at slot 101 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ben Sinnott at the 142nd overall pick is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
