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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Max Iheanachor; the Panthers did not wait, grabbing him 22 spots ahead at the Round 4 slot.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Scott at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick No. 19 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sonny Styles at the 51st pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Value with a capital V on Keionte Scott in pick 83, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
Value said wait; Max Iheanachor in the 119th overall pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at No. 156 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They paid sticker price for DJ Campbell in Round 5, Pick 19, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at Round 6, Pick 19 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
