Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
Burke should have been long gone. The Panthers pounced, and earned a A.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Panthers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

Landing Burke that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Panthers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. The Walker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 7 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
You do not let a cornerback like Denzel Burke reach slot 39 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in Round 2, Pick 18, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Barion Brown
Nice patience on Barion Brown, who had no business lasting to No. 73. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
A reach on Jalon Walker in the 97th pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
A tidy bit of business in the 118th overall pick, where Nazir Stackhouse graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
They let Jaeden Roberts come to them and pounced at the 138th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd6 Deontae Lawson
No edge and no loss on Deontae Lawson in pick No. 161; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
