Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Panthers let Sarratt fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Elijah Sarratt had no business being available in Round 4, Pick 30, and the Panthers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Adding Luke Wattenberg by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 19th overall pick they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker is a better player than pick 62 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the 88th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith at Round 4, Pick 19 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in No. 130 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Louis Moore
A reach for Louis Moore in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Red Murdock
A reasonable price with a little left over, Red Murdock in slot 200. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
The board had Noah Whittington higher than pick No. 245, and the running back fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
