Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Panthers shredded theirs for Cody Schrader. He came off 43 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at the 33rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in Round 3, Pick 1 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Jason Marshall Jr. at slot 101, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A quiet steal in pick 138: Tommy Eichenberg for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Devontez Walker
They robbed the room for Devontez Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cody Schrader. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Thomas in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
