Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Panthers.

The Panthers spent real capital to be 29 picks early on Taylen Green, and the board is going to hold them to it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Demmings value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In the 19th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Blake Miller
No drama and no debate, Blake Miller went about where he belonged in No. 51. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jacob Rodriguez in slot 83. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They paid a round early for Logan Jones in Round 4, Pick 19, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Louis Moore
They paid sticker price for Louis Moore in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the 157th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 David Gusta
David Gusta at the 198th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick255 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
They robbed the room for Charles Demmings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
