Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B.

The Panthers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Dani Dennis-Sutton at Round 2, Pick 19 regardless, 33 picks early.

The Trotter steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick No. 19 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dani Dennis-Sutton this early at Round 2, Pick 19. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Somehow Josiah Trotter was still sitting there in No. 83, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Logan Jones
A reach on Logan Jones in the 119th pick; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Good price on Louis Moore in the 156th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Keagen Trost. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
A reach for Jadon Canady in pick 198; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey in pick No. 235 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
