Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Panthers: B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Panthers reached some 27 spots for Donovan Smith, and value like that does not grow back.

The Starks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at slot 45. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 58th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Fair-plus on Cameron Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick No. 111 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at pick 118 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
No drama and no debate, Trevor Etienne went about where he belonged in slot 140. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in Round 5, Pick 8 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nick Nash in pick 163. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in No. 166 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in the 230th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Smith in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
