Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB TradesA- FutureC
The Panthers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Panthers shredded theirs for Mycah Pittman. He came off 118 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

However the rest shakes out, Augustave at that price is a win they earned. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 9 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 6th overall pick they get a two-high chess piece. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Johntay Cook II
They reached a country mile for Johntay Cook II at pick No. 38, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nice patience on Nyck Harbor, who had no business lasting to No. 70. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at Round 4, Pick 4 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Isaiah Augustave
Isaiah Augustave in slot 145 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson at the 171st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 Mycah Pittman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mycah Pittman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Sav'ell Smalls
A wild overpay on Sav'ell Smalls in the 204th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Laurance Seymore
They reached into another round for Laurance Seymore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd7 James Brockermeyer
Value said wait; James Brockermeyer in No. 217 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A big swing on Keaten Wade at pick 219, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Cameron Rising
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cameron Rising well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Johnson
Tyler Johnson at slot 245 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick250 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
Clayton Smith at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jeremiah Walker
They talked themselves into Jeremiah Walker at No. 251, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Lee Hunter
Good price on Lee Hunter in pick No. 253, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jayden Ballard
Jayden Ballard in pick 254 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257 Rnd7 Tyler Grubbs
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Grubbs in slot 257 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
