Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Sellers is the Panthers' new face under center. Grade: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. LaNorris Sellers is the Panthers' quarterback, full stop. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Inniss steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had McKinney lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In No. 10 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Nice patience on Anthony Hill Jr., who had no business lasting to the 34th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the 38th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in pick No. 70 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
They paid a round early for DJ McKinney in pick 145, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
They jumped the gun on Jaishawn Barham, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 3 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
